Ingredients

  • 1 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1 cup cassava flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1.5 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 0.75 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
  • 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
  • 0.5 cup coconut oil, room temperature (softened)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift together the almond flour, cassava flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt.
  • Add the softened coconut oil to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut it in until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold together with a spatula until a stiff dough forms.
  • Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and pat into a circular disc approximately 1 inch in height.
  • Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, slice the disc into 8 equal wedges and separate them slightly to ensure even airflow.
  • Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers are firm to the touch.
  • Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes to allow the structure to set before transferring to a wire rack.
