Crisp mornings, cozy sweaters, and the scent of warm spices wafting from the oven – that’s what these Easy Pumpkin Scones With Pumpkin Glaze are made for. These bakery-style scones are the perfect fall treat, boasting a tender, flaky crumb infused with real pumpkin and a gentle blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Each triangle is finished with a rich pumpkin glaze that adds both sweetness and autumnal charm.

Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a midday coffee companion, these scones are a breeze to make and even easier to love. Whether you’re entertaining friends or just looking to fill your kitchen with the aroma of fall spices, this recipe is a guaranteed win.

What Kind of Pumpkin Should I Use?

For the best results, use pure canned pumpkin puree—not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin puree offers rich texture and natural sweetness without the added spices or sugars, giving you full control over the flavor of your scones. If you prefer homemade pumpkin puree, make sure it’s well-strained to avoid extra moisture.

Ingredients for the Easy Pumpkin Scones With Pumpkin Glaze

All-Purpose Flour: The base of our scone dough, creating structure and the perfect balance of softness and crumb.

Brown Sugar: Adds depth and a slight molasses flavor that complements the pumpkin and spices.

Baking Powder: Gives the scones lift and that signature fluffy rise.

Salt: Enhances all the warm spices and balances the sweetness.

Pumpkin Pie Spice: A cozy blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.

Unsalted Butter: Cold and cubed, this creates those flaky layers that scones are known for.

Pumpkin Puree: The star of the show, it brings moisture, color, and flavor.

Heavy Cream: Adds richness and helps bind the dough.

Vanilla Extract: Rounds out the spice with a warm, sweet undertone.

Powdered Sugar: Used in the glaze for a smooth, sweet finish.

Maple Syrup + More Pumpkin Puree: Whisked into the glaze for seasonal flavor with a silky texture.

How To Make the Easy Pumpkin Scones With Pumpkin Glaze

Step 1: Prep the Dry Mix

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until evenly combined.

Step 2: Cut in the Butter

Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Pour into the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 4: Shape and Cut

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges with a sharp knife or bench scraper.

Step 5: Bake

Place scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18–22 minutes, until golden and set. Let cool completely.

Step 6: Make the Pumpkin Glaze

Whisk together powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and a dash of pumpkin spice until smooth. Drizzle generously over cooled scones.

Serving and Storing These Pumpkin Scones

These pumpkin scones are best enjoyed fresh the same day, especially while the glaze is still slightly tacky and aromatic. However, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave or oven to revive the texture.

For longer storage, freeze the unglazed scones for up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw and add the glaze just before serving.
