Pumpkin Spice Scones – Starbucks Copycat, Maybe??

September 24, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 28 Comments

Hi Everyone,

This weekend I stocked up on my pumpkin puree so that means I have pumpkin recipes for you!!  Well, so far I have one, but lots of them are floating around in my head and I can’t wait to make them.  So needless to say I have a pumpkin recipe for you that by far passed my expectations.  I love when that happens.

Pumpkin Spice Scones
These are my Pumpkin Spice Scones. They are light, fluffy, sweet, not to crumbly and taste like, well pumpkin spice. When I started this recipe I wasn’t sure how it was going to go, since the batter seemed really sticky but with a little flour love they turned out perfect!!! So if you find the dough sticky, just add a bit more flour when rolling. It will all come together nicely.
Pumpkin Spice Scones
Please forgive the pictures, I made these at 7am on Sunday morning and the lighting was not on my side. **BREAKING NEWS***  Little Jenny just stopped home from her work break and she told me thank you for the scones.  She said they tasted just like the Starbucks scones.  I told her they were just a little over 100 calories and she couldn’t believe it!  Yah!!  I am so happy!  I love Starbucks Pumpkin Scones but I don’t order them, because you know calories.  I am so pleased with what she said.  I can’t believe it.  Sometimes when you make something your kind of partial to it because of the time and effort you put into it, but to have someone tells you that they tasted really good, and tasted like one of my favorite coffee house scones, just makes me so happy!!    You have to love that!!!  I have big smiles right now!

Pumpkin Spice Scones
For a little fall flair I added dried cranberries to the scones, which gives them a nice surprise. I also topped the scones with turbinado sugar to make them sparkle, and make them a little sweeter. Speaking of sweeter, I added NuNaturals Presweet Tagatose as my sugar substitute. I love that stuff. I just ordered a 5lbs bag of it to get me through holiday baking. I love using the Presweet Tagatose because no one notices it in my baking and it doesn’t leave an after taste like chemical sweeteners do. Presweet Tagatose is natural and derived from stevia.

A sweet, healthy, 100 calorie pumpkin flavored scone filled with cranberries and sprinkled with sugar. I was told they taste like Starbucks Scones!
Serves: 16 Scones
Ingredients
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt, plain 0% fat
  • ⅔ cup pumpkin, canned (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • ¼ cup egg substitute or 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup sugar (I used Presweet Tagatose)
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ⅛ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 6 tbsp. margarine or butter (I used Brummel and Brown)
  • ⅓ cup dried cranberries
  • 2 tbsp egg substitute
  • 1 tsp. non-fat milk
  • ½ tbsp. turbinado
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, pumpkin and egg; set aside
  4. In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon until combined. Add butter and mix until crumbly, using a fork or your hands ( I used my hands). Stir in cranberries.
  5. Add the yogurt mixture to flour mixture; fold with spatula until just combined.
  6. Transfer dough to lightly floured work surface. Knead dough 6 to 8 times, until it just holds together. Divide dough in half and form each piece of dough into a circle, about an 1" thick, and maybe 6 - 8" wide.
  7. With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each of the pieces of dough into 8 wedges; making 16 wedges total.
  8. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
  9. In a small bowl, add 2 tablespoons of egg substitute and 1 teaspoon of milk, mix together and brush over scones. Sprinkle scones with turbinado sugar.
  10. Bake 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  11. Optional Topping: After scones are cooled, you can add a spice glaze over the top. To do, in a small bowl, add ½ cup powdered sugar, ¼ tsp. pumpkin spice, ½ tsp. vanilla extract and just enough milk to make it the consistency you like, about a tablespoon. I didn't glaze mine because I froze my scones. I just warm back up in the oven for a minute or so.

      Thank you Sashi! I will admit the ones at Starbucks taste great, but I don’t know if they are worth the calories. Give these ones a shot, I was told by a 2nd person today as a matter in fact, that they tasted like Starbucks and I didn’t even ask, they just came out and said so! 🙂 I love that!

    I love when people tell me they enjoyed what I baked too. And I can’t believe there are only 100 calories in these! Say whaaaat?! I used to eat a scone a day when I was in undergrad until I learned what was in them and how many calories. I was horrified. I wouldn’t feel any guilt making and eating these. Thanks Jennifer!

      Nancy I think you will like these scones!! So easy to make and yup they are only 100 calories. Sometimes I don’t get what bake shops put in there baked goods in order to make the calories so high. About 5 years ago, I used to get the reduced fat coffee cake from Starbucks thinking I was doing good, and come to find out the full fat and reduced fat were just about the same calories which was up near 400. I stopped getting them when they started to post the calories. So sad! 🙁

    I made these today and they turned out beautifully!! I used craisins, and regular sugar for the dough as well as on top…didn’t have the other stuff on hand. These are a great pumpkin treat and warm up after 10 seconds in the microwave and are SO GOOD!!! I have been looking through all of your recipes and am going to try more. Love crockpot recipes, so convenient. Thank you and I’m glad I found you!

      Hi Dana, The pkg. of stevia you have should say what the equal amount would be compared to sugar. I am not to sure to be honest. I would use your best judgement.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash.

I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
