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.

Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Ha Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Halloween in my kitchen. I don’t do much Halloween decorations, but I just love to add it to the kitchen. Every time I go to the kitchen it makes me smile.
🦇
To add Fall or Halloween you don’t need to add a lot, just a few touches here and there. I will give a full tour in stories and tag a few items. Majority of the decor came from @krumpetshomedecor and the towels and bat banner from @theblessedpeach

Have the best day!

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me.

I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.

Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!
🐾
❤️Samuel

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! Now I know what you are thinking, Ha Happy Monday! Now I know what you are thinking, Halloween and Fall decor in July? Have I lost my mind? Nope, I haven’t, but on Saturday @krumpetshomedecor launched their Fall and Halloween! Soooooooo many cute pieces, I’m obsessed!
🎃
It’s hard to imagine Fall in a couple of months when the temps have been in the 100’s, but it will be here soon. Time to start planning!!! 
🎃
How I styled my bar cart is just an idea. Once I pull out my Fall/Halloween bins you will see these pieces in other parts of my home. The black wooden witches books will go in my kitchen to go with my black and white kitchen that I do every Halloween. The witches broom will also go on my shelf in the kitchen as my boys 🐶🐶 have been eyeing it up. I need to keep it away from them.
🎃
The beautiful reversible art work will go in my living room, as I like to do oranges and neutrals for fall. The 3 wooden pumpkins will go on my console table. I have it all planned out in my head. I’m kind of excited, but I will enjoy summer a little while longer.
