Spiced Pumpkin & Pecan Scones With Cinnamon Chips
"Delicous and different scones with pumpkin, pecans, and cinnamon chips; this recipe was inspired by chef #242729's recipe #397407, which I added oatmeal, spelt flour, maple syrup or maple extract, pecans, and cinnamon chips to, and also added a spiced sugar sprinkle on top. recipe #397407 has a wonderful recipe in it for honey butter; I highly recommend it if you like butter on your scones! You can use canned, frozen, or fresh pumpkin puree in these scones."

These scones turned out fabulous! They were sooo good, perfect for autumn with just the right spice mix. YUM! The pumpkin, nuts, cinnamon chips and oats went really great together. I only used 1 ts of mixed spice, but next time Ill use it all as somehow it didnt come through that much. I used a flax egg, half whole wheat flour and only half the sugar (in both dough and topping) and these still turned out so good! YUM! <br/>I cut the dough into rounds and ended up with 12 smallish scones.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this keeper with us, Kat. Ill make them again for sure!<br/>Made and reviewed for one of my babies during PAC Autumn 2011. -
These were rock hard and I didn't over bake them either.

I'm a now vegan who used to make one heck of a souvlaki. I love cooking, I was a huge fan of Moosewood and Molly Katzen prior to going vegan (although that has nothing to do with my choosing the name Katzen - that's just what my German Grandma has called me all my life.) Aside from cooking, I also love scuba diving, cycling, politics, and reading.
