Grain Free Pumpkin Scones
I promise this will be the ONLY pumpkin recipe you will get from me this crazy pumpkin season. I am not sure I can keep that promise, but I will say this might be the only pumpkin recipe you need this fall pumpkin mania season. Three cheers for Grain Free Pumpkin Scones!
I love making real food treats. These babies are full of fiber, beta-carotene, healthy fats and detoxifying spices. They are also grain free and can be Vegan if you make one simple change to a flax egg in the recipe. Oh, pumpkin yea!
They are not too sweet so can make a great grab and go breakfast. I like them with a spot of tea myself, and I like to savor them on a chilly fall afternoon with a good book and fire in the fireplace. They are not all guilt free so don’t eat the whole plate, although you will want to! SHARE will ya?
