Pumpkin-Oat Scones

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree and buttermilk until smooth. Add this mixture to the flour and oats, stirring until just combined.
  5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead just until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.
  6. Cut the dough into wedges or use a biscuit cutter to create round scones. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow to cool on a wire rack and enjoy warm or at room temperature!
