Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chai spice mix (for glaze)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick circle.
  6. Cut the circle into 8 wedges and place on the baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. While scones bake, whisk powdered sugar, milk, chai spice mix, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to make the glaze.
  9. Let scones cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then drizzle with glaze.
  10. Serve warm.

Notes

Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough scones. Ensure baking powder is fresh for proper rising. For dairy-free options, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and milk with almond milk. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
