Pumpkin Scones GF & LC Nutrition
Pumpkin is low in calories and high in fiber. It is also a great source for beta carotene, which helps in fighting heart disease and certain types of cancer. To learn more about the benefits of pumpkin click here.
Pumpkin scones are low carb and gluten free. If cutting the scones in to 8 sections, each scone approximately contains 264 calories, 23.9 grams of fat, 4.4 net carbs and 10.3 grams of protein. If cutting into 6 sections, each scone approximately contains 353 calories, 31.9 grams of fat, 5.9 net carbs and 12.7 grams of protein.

How to make Pumpkin Scones GF & LC
Turn the oven to 350° and line a half sheet pan with parchment paper.
Weigh or measure (always preferrable to weigh) all of the ingredients out and set aside. Combine the dry ingredients together, then incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients.
A fork is my chosen tool to use to mix the scones together.
Add the egg to the mixture and combine well. Next, blend in the pumpkin puree.
Dust a clean work surface with almond flour and form the dough into a disc shape about 1″-1 ¼” thick. Cut the dough into 6 or 8 pieces. We like ours a little smaller around here. The bigger they are, the more we will eat, so we cut them into 8 spherical triangles.
Transfer the scones to the pan and place in the oven for 16-18 minutes.
Glaze
These scones are so delicious that they certainly do not need a glaze. However, if you need an idea for a great glaze to drizzle over the top, mix 1/2 cup Swerve confectioners with about 3 tablespoons of heavy cream and 3 drops of mapleline or maple extract.
