Ingredients
  

Scones

  • 1 ½ cups oat flour , 180 grams, plus extra
  • ½ cup + 2 tablespoons almond flour , 80 grams
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold
  • cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup canned pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup light or dark brown sugar

Maple Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Make Scones

  • Whisk the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt together in a large bowl. Grate in the frozen butter and work it in with a pastry cutter, a fork, or your fingers until the mixture comes together in pea-sized crumbs. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, pumpkin, and brown sugar. Drizzle it over the flour mixture and then mix it all together until everything is combined. The dough may be wet.
  • Using floured hands, and adding a little more oat flour if necessary, form the dough into a ball and then gently press it into a flat disk about 1 inch thick. Place the dough on a parchment-lined plate and place it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  • Now preheat the oven to 400℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  • Remove the chilled dough from the fridge and cut it into 8 equal pieces. Place the scones about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet, then place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the scones and let them cool on a wire rack.

Make Maple Glaze

  • Whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, and a big pinch of salt. Drizzle the glaze over the scones.
