Pumpkin Oat Scones
I’ve had Starbuck’s decadent pumpkin scone a couple of times now and I truly enjoy them. I was feeling inspired by their pumpkin scones, so I went ahead and created a recipe that consisted of whole wheat flour and oatmeal. Remember the leftover pumpkin puree from the Pumpkin Spice Cookies? I used it to make these awesome autumn spiced sweet treat. What’s also special about these scones instead of having a cinnamon glaze, I rubbed some brown sugar on top of them. These pumpkin oat scones were so soft and crumbly on the inside while each bite tingles your taste buds with the aromatic spices of cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. The house is filled with an irresistible fragrance while the scones are baking that you might be fooled just for a second and think there’s a pumpkin pie in the room! All of this pumpkin talk makes me want to bake some Pumpkin Pie but that would have to wait just a few more weeks until Thanksgiving. Let the countdown begin 
Pumpkin Oat Scones
- 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 cup oats
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2-3/4 cup skim milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- brown sugar as topping
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
In a large bowl add flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt
Then add the cinnamon, ginger, and cloves
Whisk all of the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined
Add the pumpkin puree and milk
Followed by the butter and vanilla extract
Using a hand mixer, mix just until the dough comes together. Try not to over mix the dough. Once the dough has come together, add a little more flour to the dough and knead about five to seven times until it does not stick to your hands.
The dough should look like this once the kneading is complete
Pat the scone dough into a circle that is about 7-8 inches round
Cut into 8 individual triangles and arrange them on the baking sheet. Rub the top of the scones with some brown sugar
Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Wouldn’t you like this scone with some cream and yummy jam?? Enjoy!
Beautiful outcome thank you for the nice pictures and pretty scones!
They look delicious! Oh yum! Like your pictures of the process

Pumpkin & scones? What a lovely combination!
I love the smell of scones when you just open the oven door. so comfy. so homey. arrrrrr
I am not a baker, but a couple of months ago I made scones and they actually turned out. I think these sound wonderful and I plan on giing it a try!
Thanks for the post.
I love all your baked pumpkin recipes. They are all look delicious. I’m so sure they’re better than Starbucks.
This looks super incredible. I love scones and this looks lovely. Thank you for a great recipe!
Wonderful concept for scones! GREG
My hubby made a pumpkin pie this morning and we have puree left. Now I know what I’m going to do with it!
So wonderful scones to have with a cup of coffee
Cheers!

I bet it smelled amazing. I think I’m finally in the pumpkin mood, so I will attempt to make pumpkin donuts on my day off and these for breakfast.
Scones are the best treats! And these are pretty healthy – without much sugar in them – that means I can eat two!
Haven’t tried making scones but I’m inspired to do so after reading this. These look and sound wonderful.
I am loving this recipe – lots of spices and skim milk. This sounds like a keeper.
Those scones sound really delicious with addition of pumpkin!
Oh these sound delicious and healthy – my favorite kind of scone!
Your pumpkin scone looks great and the colour looks so attractive! Great job. Cheers.
Thank you for the compliment on my Cannolis! I loveeeeee scones. I haven’t made pumpkin ones yet. Thank you for the inspiration!
Love the smell of pumpkin, ginger, and cinnamon! These sound divine – like autumn in a bite!
Your scones look delicious! It is always fun to try to replicate what we find in restaurants
Thanks for sharing
yeah starbucks has some really nice pumpkin stuff ! next time maybe u want to try the “cheese pumpkin muffin”
WOW look at that scone!!! Gorgeous! Have you ever had pumpkin scones at Alice’s Teacup? BEST pumpkin scones. EVER. Seriously. You definitely need to try them!
I’ve been to Alice’s Tea Cup and had their Chocolate Chip Raspberry scone (talk about oh my god!) but I have not had the opportunity to try their pumpkin scone. Looks like we have to make the trek back!
Your scones look absolutely beautiful! Great recipe.
What a lovely fall treat! I would LOVE one with a nice cup of coffee…
Wow, yum. These are so pretty! I love how that dough became a big orange ball!
This is another great use for canned pumpkin! Great recipe. Thanks!
Those look fantastic!! Love pumpkin and pats – combining them in a scone is genius. I’d like mine with a hot cup of coffee, please!
Wow these sound delicious. I love pumpkin anything, and these look better & healthier than the Starbucks version. How can you go wrong when oats are involved?
Scones are one of my favorite food items! This recipe looks really easy to do as well as delicious. Thank you very much for sharing it!
BUZZ!
These look delightful. I’m really not a fan of the calorie information at Starbucks in NYC, it’s prevented me from trying any of their baked goods in a while. These – these I can get behind though.
