Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients:

3 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
1/3 cup coconut sugar or granulated sweetener of choice
2 teaspoons pumpkin spice blend
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt or pink salt
3/4 cup pumpkin puree no added ingredients, just pumpkin
1/2 cup milk of choice I like to use oat milk, plus extra for brushing
1/2 cup coconut oil liquid/melted
2 tablespoons maple syrup or liquid sweetener of choice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips of choice
coarse sea salt or flaked salt if not keen on looks, you can use regular sea salt for that salty finish!

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper then set aside. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, pumpkin spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.

In another large bowl combine pumpkin, milk, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until a dough begins to form. Using your hands, knead the dough until smoothly combined.

Fold in chocolate chips.

Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Form it into a circle of dough approximately 8 inches across. Flatten and shape with your hands into a disc approximately 1 inch thick. Slice the dough into 8 triangular slices. Brush with milk and sprinkle with salt.

Bake for 25 minutes or until firm and golden.

Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Sounds awesome! I am looking forward to the cooler weather to start baking again. It has been to hot to turn the oven on.

I hope you’re able to get baking again after this cool-down.

Oh, you made one gigantic thing out of it instead of individual scones. I’ve never thought to do that! Does that make it more “moist” than the usual scones? Since there’s more… like… internal area? Or is it pretty much the same?

Anyway, I’ll have to try it next time.

I know there are apple chips so why not pumpkin? But I’m afraid I have go argue with you, there is such a thing as too much pumpkin spice and that’s pumpkin spice spam. Urgh.

I’m not sure because this is how I was taught to make scones, in a giant circle. I guess someone British will pop on and let us know which is right. LOL! @tracyS?

I finally managed to forget that ever existed. Thanks for reminding me!

Ohhh. I guess I learnt the British way. So what am I meant to be calling this thing then, Professor @tracyS?

A classic scone. But I have seen them done as one big scone before, just not often. Recipe looks delicious so if it tastes good, it doesn’t matter

I mean, yeah, but at the same time, I’m going to confuse the hell outta people if I start making up names for the things I make and do. “Would you like a fresh crumblewumbus?”

Actually… I do like this idea of confusing everyone.

That’s a fabulous name for a cake. Yes please, with custard.
