Ingredients
  

For the scones
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup SweetLeaf Stevia Sweetener
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cold & cubed
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream additional for brushing the scones prior to bake
  • 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Spice SweetLeaf Stevia Drops

For the chocolate glaze

  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon SweetLeaf Stevia Sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon SweetLeaf Stevia Drops

Method
 

To make the scones
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, sweetener).
  3. Slice and cube cold butter and add it to the dry ingredients.
  4. Use a pastry cutter, forks, or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture. Work it until the butter is well incorporated and mixture is grainy with pea-sized crumbs.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, combine wet ingredients with a whisk or hand mixer (pumpkin puree, egg, heavy cream, vanilla, SweetLeaf Pumpkin Spice drops). Mix until combined.
  6. Add wet ingredients to butter and flour mixture. Mix until a dough has formed.
  7. Place dough on to a well-floured surface and add additional flour to the top of the dough and press it into an 8-9-inch round (about 1 inch thick). Add more flour as needed if the dough is too wet to work with.
  8. Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut the dough into 8 wedges.
  9. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and place the wedges at least 1 inch apart. Brush some heavy cream over the top of each scone.
  10. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
  11. Remove from oven and let them cool to room temperature before glazing.
To make the glaze
  1. Use a fork or spoon to stir together all ingredients.
  2. Add more cocoa powder or heavy cream as needed to reach desired consistency.
  3. Use a fork or spoon to drip over the top of the cooled scones.
