Pumpkin Oat Scones


For heaven's sake, I just can't stop! I'm going to have to call this pumpkin month, so I hope you like pumpkin everything. And if you don't, what's wrong with you??? I'm just kidding (a little).

Today's mission: pumpkin oat scones. You know what I was going for - the ones from Starbucks that are so deliciously evil and flaky/buttery/donuty-good. These come pretty close to Starbucks' version, but perhaps a bit lighter in texture (no complaints here, though). I got the recipe from a blog called Inspired Taste.  The only thing different that I did was add about 1/3 cup of old fashioned oats. I made the dough, baked two, ate one, photographed one, then shared that one with 3 very curious little monkeys. They approve, BTW. The rest of the unbaked scones are sitting in my freezer waiting for my special house guest this weekend. How cool to be able to whip out a batch of fresh pumpkin scones in 10 minutes? I might always have to have these on hand; probably not a wise idea with my level of self-control :)-

This recipe will definitely go into my fall baking repertoire. Give it a try for a yummy treat. Perfect pumpkin scones : Mission accomplished.
