Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup homemade pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoon pure maple syrup or raw honey
  • 1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup Enjoy Life's mega chocolate chunks

Chocolate Drizzle:

  • 1/4 cup Enjoy Life's chocolate chunks
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and place parchment paper on baking sheet.
  • In a bowl, whisk the almond flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and cinnamon until well blended.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, egg, coconut oil, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract and chocolate chunks and mix until soft dough forms.
  • Using your hands, roll the dough into a ball and place on lined baking sheet. Gently flatten the dough into a disc about 1-inch thick.
  • Using a pizza cutter or a knife, cut into 8 wedges. Gently separate, but leave in a circle.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes. I like a soft center, and take them out at 35 minutes, but let bake for 5-10 minutes longer, watching closely to avoid burning, if you like crispier scones.
  • Transfer to a cooling rack to cool.
  • Using the double boiler method or a microwave, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a small mixing bowl. Whisk to make sure that the chocolate and oil is well combined.
  • Once scones are cool, drizzle with chocolate and devour!
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days or in the freezer for up to three months!

Notes

If the dough is too wet, slice with a wet knife. Let bake for 20 minutes. Slice again and separate scones. Bake for another 20-25 minutes until firm on the outside.
