Ingredients

For the scones

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 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
  • cup heavy cream additional for brushing the scones prior to bake
  • 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Spice SweetLeaf Stevia Drops
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the chocolate glaze

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon SweetLeaf Stevia Sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon SweetLeaf Stevia Drops

Instructions

To make the scones

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, sweetener).
  • Slice and cube cold butter and add it to the dry ingredients.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Add wet ingredients to butter and flour mixture. Mix until a dough has formed.
  • 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.
  • Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut the dough into 8 wedges.
  • 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.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and let them cool to room temperature before glazing.

To make the glaze

  • Use a fork or spoon to stir together all ingredients.
  • Add more cocoa powder or heavy cream as needed to reach desired consistency.
  • Use a fork or spoon to drip over the top of the cooled scones.
