This easy Pumpkin Scones recipe is made with canned pumpkin and is an easy scones recipe with a simple scone glaze for your next brunch or tea party!

Hello & Happy Fall! It is feeling a little like it too.  It is only in the evenings, but I definitely can feel that cool fall breeze at night. When I hear the leaves rustling on the sidewalk, it gets me a little giddy for the season. It also reminds me of some of the scary movies I used to watch when I was younger.

Does it feel like fall where you are yet? Are you seeing changing leaves? We do not get that so much here, but I like to decorate so it feels like fall. 

Today’s recipe is a slightly sweet bread that is full of fall flavors. It is a great way to used canned pumpkin and incorporate the taste of pumpkin spice into your life and they are so good!

I am a big scones fan because this time of year, I love a little sweet treat (that isn’t too sweet) to go with my hot tea or cocoa. You may remember my tea party chocolate chip scones from a couple of years ago.

This weekend I was able to get together with friends for a fun tea party. I highly suggest gathering your tribe together and having a potluck tea. It is a great way to enjoy the season!

Scones are easy to make and I love making the slices from the dough.

Just bake them in the oven for a little while.

Then add a little icing. I like to keep the icing light, but you can make it a little thicker if you want. Before you know it you have a delicious scone! These make a nice side item for a brunch or breakfast, but it can also be a dessert or lunch box treat.

Fall flavors are so bold and comforting. I honestly try to incorporate a fall flavor into each day, without overdoing it, otherwise, I will tire of it. Apples, pumpkins, and pecans are ingredients I love and have shared over the years. This year I am hoping to incorporate figs and beets into some of my recipes so stay tuned for those.

Scone Icing Ideas:

You can also opt to make a little maple icing by adding maple syrup in place of the milk. It will make the scone a little sweeter, but it changes the flavor a bit.  

Another nice topping for scones is a chocolate drizzle. Just melt some chocolate chips with butter and drizzle away! Chocolate pretty much works on any sweet flavor scone. 

• 
• Using a pastry cutter will help you work with the dough faster.
• Using canned pumpkin will save you lots of time and it tastes treat.
• You can use canned frosting and add a little milk to it so that it is a bit thinner, and it will work just fine. Just be sure to let the scones cool to room temperature before icing.
• This recipe is a perfect way to use leftover canned pumpkin this fall. It only uses about half a can so it is perfect.
