ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 6 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 4 tablespoons coconut milk
- 4 teaspoons coconut milk powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Method
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
Prepare the glaze first if using. Whisk together coconut milk powder and maple syrup until smooth. Place in the fridge to thicken.
Step 3
Remove excess moisture from the pumpkin puree. Place pumpkin puree in a nut milk bag or between two paper towels and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. You should end up with 1/2 cup of pumpkin.
Step 4
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt (if using).
Step 5
Add butter cubes and combine with a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingertips to form pea-sized crumbs.
Step 6
Add in pumpkin and 4 tbsp coconut milk. Mix until the dough is moistened and comes together. Add more coconut milk if needed.
Step 7
Lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Form into a ball then cut into 8 triangles. Transfer scones to a plate (make sure they don't touch) and chill in the fridge while the oven preheats.
Step 8
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Step 9
When the oven is ready, transfer scones to the lined baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake 20-25 minutes until lightly browned.
Step 10
If using the glaze, drizzle on scone immediately before serving. The glaze is sticky and will not completely harden, so store leftover scones unglazed.
