Ingredients

Yield: 12-16 scones Time: 45-50 minutes

Pumpkin Cranberry Scones

• 2 cups flour
• 1 Tbs pumpkin spice
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup cold vegan margerine
• 1/4 cup plain non-dairy milk
• 4 tsp ground flaxseed
• 1 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 2 Tbs molasses
• heaping 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 2-3 Tbs pepitas (pumpkin seeds) for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and prepare two baking sheets by lightly greasing them or lining with a silicon baking mat.
2. In a large bowl, whisk or sift together the flour, pumpkin spice, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Then, in a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flaxseed and non-dairy milk.
4. Next, combine the pumpkin, molasses, and vanilla extract into the flaxseed and non-dairy milk, mixing together well.
5. Then talk the cold vegan butter and cut into pieces. Add to the flour mix and cut into the flour with a pastry cutter or heavy fork until the dough is flaky.
6. Create a well in the dough and pour in the pumpkin mix. Then add the cranberries.
7. Carefully fold the pumpkin into the dough being sure not to over mix but fully combining the wet and dry ingredients until a soft batter is formed.
8. Equally split the batter between the two baking sheets, using a rubber spatula to form the batter into at least 1 inch thick rounds.
9. Use a sharp knife to slice the batter into 6-8 triangles and then top with pepitas.
10. Place the scones in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or for 40 minutes for less moist scones.
11. Remove from the oven once baked, and allow them to cool before slicing them again to separate each scone.
12. Store at room temperature for 3-4 days.
