I am really picky about scones; they have to have the right texture, too moist and they are muffins, too dry and they are bisquits. These are great and I have been looking for a good pumpkin scone recipe for awhile! I did add 1/4 cup brown sugar because I prefer sweet scones, and I added up the spice quantities (makes 1 T) and used pumpkin pie spice (also used pumpkin pie spice in the glaze). Baked at 425 as instructed and they were perfect at 16 minutes of baking. I only made one round that I cut into 8 pieces and I put them on parchment paper for baking. Absolutely delicious!

1 star Only after taking out of the oven, realized these are not sweet. There is no sugar in recipe. They must be frosted. 425 degree oven is too high. My oven is correctly calibrated, but after 15 minutes the top was getting too dark and the insides were still too moist. Drop the temperature and cook for a longer period of time. The baking sheet should be lightly greased. Not mentioned in recipe but they stuck and broke apart as i removed them. Frosting needs more than 1 TBL of milk, more like 2 TBL. These are definately not like the famous coffehouse scones I had hoped for.

Hi! I'm the original poster. I live at sea level, so I don't know if that affects baking time/temperatures differently. While I've never checked if my oven is calibrated, most other recipes work fine at posted temps and times. My husband and I prefer less-sweet scones, but if you want them sweeter, add 1/4 c sugar (I think brown would be better with the pumpkin, personally). It is a healthier scone, so if you want something that tastes more like a junky pastry, this is probably not it!

I can't figure out how to edit reviews, so sorry for a duplicate. For all those that say it is bland, make sure your spices are fresh. The spices used here start losing their potency as soon as they are opened and need to be restocked every 3-6 months if you buy the pre ground stuff. I didn't think they were bland at all, but I always bake with fresh spices. I also agree with the reviewers who say this is more of a healthy recipe, and if you're looking for a junky sweet treat, this is not for you! People who are health conscious will be more likely to like this recipe.

This recipe was very good. I substituted 1 cup of whole wheat flour for the all-purpose flour and added 1/4 cup of sugar to the recipe after reading reviews that it wasn't sweet enough. Tasted great!

Loved this recipe! For those of you who are expecting sweetness in the scone... scones are typically NOT sweet. The icing on top will give some sweetness. These came out perfect and just as I remembered eating in Scotland. If I could... I'd give it more than 5 stars!!

When I tasted a bit of the dough, it tasted awfully bland! But with the sweet icing, I think it's perfect! Instead of zigzag drizzling the icing over each scone, I just dunked each one upside-down into the bowl of runny icing and let it drip down the sides. The spiciness is really great, and I love that this contains oats... so it's healthy, right? :)
