Recipe Tips
Don't be intimidated by making scones, these are simple to make. They are perfect for brunch too for entertaining or for an afternoon snack.
Don't worry, in a couple of months everything I will make will be gingerbread and peppermint. Kidding! (Not really)
I like to make my scones into triangles but you can easily also drop them by the spoonful as well. I've done it both ways but still prefer them in triangles.
You can make these with or without the glaze, I like them either way. I do think the glaze a nice extra touch.

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Spice Scones with Maple Cinnamon Glaze
Ingredients
- Scones:
- 1½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ¼ cup unrefined sugar
- 2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ginger
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup coconut oil

- 1 teaspoon gluten free vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons 100% maple syrup
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone mat.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flours, xanthan gum, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt. Work in the coconut oil until the mixture is crumbly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, pumpkin and vanilla until frothy. Add to the dry ingredients, stirring until well blended. The dough will be sticky.

- Sprinkle the scones with extra sugar if desired. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown.

See! This is why it drives me crazy that people start posting pumpkin in August. It's only the beginning of October and people should SO not be sick of pumpkin already! I haven't even posted my first pumpkin recipe of the year yet and now I have to worry that someone is going to leave me a nasty comment about bloggers posting too many pumpkin recipes. Rant over. 😉
These scones look magnificent! Love the glaze.

Those are some of the best looking scones I've seen in a long time. And that glaze sounds like the perfect way to make them extra-special.
