Pumpkin Scones are a popular pastry in the United States and Australia, where pumpkin is widely consumed during the fall season and Thanksgiving holiday. These scones are a healthier version of the classic recipe, as they use vegan margarine instead of butter and egg substitute instead of eggs. The scones are soft, crumbly, and slightly sweet, making them an ideal breakfast or snack option. The cinnamon adds a warm and spicy flavor to the scones, which complements the pumpkin well. Pumpkin Scones are often served with tea, coffee, or hot chocolate, and they can be flavored with other spices like ginger, nutmeg, or cloves.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2.In a large mixing bowl, cream margarine and sugar together until light and fluffy.
3.Mix in the egg substitute and stir until combined.
4.In another bowl, sift together flour, salt, and cinnamon.
5.Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until combined.
6.Add the pumpkin and soymilk to the mixture and stir until a dough forms.
7.On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for 1 minute until smooth.
8.Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and shape each part into a circle.
9.Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool and serve.

PROS

These scones are vegan, egg-free, and lactose-free, making them a perfect choice for those who follow a plant-based diet or have allergies.
They are easy to make and can be stored for several days at room temperature or in the freezer.
The pumpkin adds natural sweetness, fiber, and vitamins to the scones.

CONS

These scones are high in carbs and calories due to the flour and sugar content.
Eating too many scones at once can lead to an increase in blood sugar levels and contribute to weight gain.
Some people may find the texture of scones too dry or crumbly, so it’s important to serve them with a hot beverage or a spread like vegan butter or jam.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Pumpkin is a nutrient-dense vegetable that is low in calories and high in vitamins A, C, E, and K, as well as antioxidants and fiber. Eating pumpkin regularly can improve eye health, boost immunity, reduce inflammation, and support heart health. Self-raising flour provides some protein, calcium, and iron to the recipe, but it also contains gluten, which can trigger digestive issues in some individuals. Soymilk is a good source of protein, vitamin B12, and vitamin D, but it can also cause allergic reactions in some people.
