Are you as excited as I am that we’re in the middle of pumpkin season?

I hope so, because I’m not about to slow down yet, even though we’re heading into mid-November.

Pumpkin anything is a favorite of mine, but I have a special love for pumpkin baked goods. These Pumpkin Nutella Muffins, those Easy Pumpkin Danish, and this Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cobbler steal my heart every time.

And I have some more baked deliciousness comin’ your way today…Pumpkin Scones with Maple Glaze.

Now, I will admit that I’m pretty picky when it comes to scones. They can’t be too dry, too soft, or too flaky. It just ruins the idea of a scone for me…know what I mean? When I first made these Banana Bread Scones last year, I was on the hunt for that perfect scone.

Luckily, through a lot of trial and error, I perfected my idea of that perfect scone. And that’s why I threw some pumpkin into the mix…to make these babies the go-to treat for fall.

If the idea of making scones scares you, rest assured that this recipe is fairly easy. The hardest part is kneading the dough and cutting in the cold, cubed butter, which makes those soft and pillowy pockets burst through the scones.

One bite and you’ll be hooked on the taste, texture, and cozy flavors of fall. While the scones aren’t overly sweet, the maple glaze gives it that perfect touch, with a hint of sweetness.

Perfect to enjoy for breakfast with your morning cup of coffee, or for dessert with a mug of tea, you’ll be reaching for these Pumpkin Scones with Maple Glaze all season long!
