Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Cover a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix the 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree ,1 Tbs of cinnamon, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp ground cloves together with a fork. Then add 1 tsp of vanilla, ¼ cup of maple syrup, and 3 eggs to the bowl and whisk until everything is well blended.
  • In a medium bowl, mix ¾ cup of almond flour, ½ cup of coconut flour , 1 tsp baking soda, and ¼ tsp of salt together. Then, pour ¼ cup of melted coconut oil on top of the dry ingredients and mix with a fork until everything is clumpy and almost looks like "sand".
  • Pour the dry ingredients, or "sand" mixture, into the pumpkin mixture. Mix everything together with a fork. At first, the mixture will seem too wet, but keep mixing. Mix until there are no clumps left and the mixture thickens up into a dough.
  • Take the dough out of the bowl with your hands and make it into a ball. Then put the ball of dough onto a clean surface and flatten it with your hands, until it is an 8 inch circle. It will look like a VERY thick pancake.
  • Cut the dough in half, then in fourths... etc... until the dough is cut into 8 scones. Using a spatula, separate each scone and place them onto the covered cookie sheet.
  • Bake the scones at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
  • While the scones are baking, make the frosting! Mix 1 Tbs pumpkin puree, 1 Tbs refrigerated coconut cream ,1 Tbs maple syrup, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, a pinch of ground ginger, and a pinch of nutmeg together.
  • Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the cookie sheet. Once cool, evenly sprinkle the frosting onto each scone.

Notes

Make sure to let the scone batter rest for several minutes before shaping them. This allows the coconut flour to absorb.
