It’s Thanksgiving weekend in Canada and we are SO excited! My Wild Rice Stuffed Acorn Squash<\/a> is baking in the oven as we speak and there’s a giant Salted Caramel Apple Pie<\/a> cooling on the counter!<\/p>\n

But today is not the first day of indulging. We actually had a HUGE bake-off yesterday as I wanted to create the perfect pumpkin scones recipe for you lovely pumpkin spice addicts!<\/p>\n

We loved the result so much, that I had to sit down and write this post immediately. There are scones crumbs on my keyboard right now. No kidding.<\/p>\n

Honestly, between my Maple Latte<\/a> and this Cranberry Pumpkin Scones recipes, the only reason for going to Starbucks these days is the reliable Wifi and the admittedly superb people watching opportunities.<\/p>\n

Why these Cranberry Pumpkin Scones are even better than Starbucks’:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

These easy cranberry pumpkin scones are the perfect way to make a foggy fall morning a bit brighter.<\/p>\n

Packed with pumpkin flavor\u00a0and pumpkin spice like cinnamon, ginger, cloves\u00a0and nutmeg, these tender and moist scones are the definition of fall coziness.<\/p>\n

The spiced cream cheese glaze is the perfect finishing touch. As this pumpkin\u00a0scones recipe uses only a little sugar, it adds\u00a0just the right amount\u00a0of sweetness. It also gives our homemade scones this coffee-shop look, that we are after.<\/p>\n

How to make this Starbucks Copycat Cranberry Pumpkin Scones recipe:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This recipe is really easy and the only part that requires a bit of concentration is the folding. But I’ve got a great step-by-step guide plus recipe video for you to help you with that!<\/p>\n

Preheat the oven to 375 F and line a baking dish with some parchment paper.<\/p>\n

Cut the pumpkin or squash into cubes, aiming at about 350 g. Drizzle with 2 tsp of honey and coconut oil and roast for 30 minutes or until tender. Remove from the oven and let cool. After roasting, it will only weight about 250 g.<\/p>\n

Let cool and puree the pumpkin with sour cream, milk, vanilla, and maple syrup until you have a smooth and not too thick paste.<\/p>\n

Chill this homemade pumpkin puree and grate your cold butter. Place the butter in the freezer an mix your dry ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 F and prepare a baking sheet with some parchment paper.<\/p>\n

Now we fold wet into dry ingredients until the pumpkin scones dough comes together and dump it onto a floured countertop.<\/p>\n

For the folding process, make sure to watch the recipe video. It’s easy, I promise! Have your cranberries ready and press them into the dough while folding.<\/p>\n

Pat the dough into a round disk and cut into 6 to 8 wedges, place on the parchment paper and brush with some egg yolk. These need to bake for 15 minutes for 8 wedges, and 18 minutes for 6!<\/p>\n

You can eat them as they are or glaze them with some homemade cream cheese icing, which is what I did!<\/p>\n
