Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, molasses, almond milk, vanilla extract and apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
- Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cloves and salt to the bowl of a food processor.
- Next add in butter pieces and pulse a few times until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture, along with the Coach's oats. Stir until just moist; the dough will be very soft.
- Place dough on the prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pat the dough into an 8 inch circle using floured hands. Cut into 8 triangles, but don’t cut all the way through the dough.
- Add 3 raw pecans to each scone triangle. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until slightly golden.
- Once scones are done baking, mix together the glaze, if using: Add pecan butter, maple syrup, salt, and warm water to a small bowl. Mix together until smooth and creamy like a glaze. Drizzle over the scones and enjoy! Serves 8.
