Classic scones with rich pumpkin flavor, topped with a lightly sweet and creamy yogurt frosting, made gluten-free with oat and chickpea flours. —Hungry Haley
Ingredients
- For the scones:
-
1 cup
garbanzo bean flour
-
1 cup
oat flour
-
1 tablespoon
baking powder
-
1 teaspoon
sea salt
-
1 1/2 teaspoons
pumpkin pie spice
-
4 tablespoons
cold butter
-
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
-
1/4 cup
milk
-
1/3 cup
coconut sugar
-
2/3 cup
pumpkin puree
- For the maple frosting:
-
1/2 cup
greek yogurt
-
2 tablespoons
pure maple syrup
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Whisk the pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl. Set aside.
-
In a medium-large bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, sea salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Use a knife to roughly chop the butter into small cubes into the dry ingredients and mix.
-
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined. If it sticks to your fingers at a light touch, add more oat flour by the tablespoon until the dough dries out just a bit.
-
Sprinkle a small handful of oat flour over the parchment paper. Scoop the dough onto the paper, lightly roll it in the oat flour, and form into a circle about 1 1/2-2" tall (it shouldn't be flat). Cut into 6 triangles and distribute evenly over the baking sheet
-
Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown on top and firm to the gentle touch. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and maple syrup. Once the scones have cooled, scoop a dollop of frosting onto each scone and spread over the top. Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and serve immediately. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.

Enjoy!
