The most perfectly moist Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Scones are coming to your kitchen!
I live for a scone. I've been obsessed ever since my first trip to England 20+ years ago when my mom, dad, sister and I would eat them for breakfast and afternoon tea. These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Scones are the perfect treat when that afternoon sweet tooth hits, or the perfect way to kick off a leisurely fall themed brunch - a perfect sequel to the summery strawberry white chocolate scones.
These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Scones couldn't be easier too. Everything is prepped in 1 bowl, cut into wedges and then baked. You can prep them ahead and wait to bake until right before you're ready to serve. You can also make these well ahead of time and store them in the freezer. Just pop them in a toaster oven or microwave to re-heat for a bit before serving.
One quick note - below in the recipe you'll see I call for grated butter and you're probably thinking... "Grated Butter." Yes, break out that box grater and make sure you have SUPER cold butter and grate it into the mixture. That way there will be little bits of butter scattered throughout the entire dough. It's easier and actually faster than cutting the butter into small cubes. Okay!! Let's go!

I think I need to make these ASAP
I just so happen to have stocked up on pumpkin ; ) Swoon.
I love pumpkin. And I love that you made scones with it... I always fail with scones, but I'm totally tying yours.
Damn. Looks like I've got to fire up the oven and start baking again. Stat. These look great and are totally making me want to cave on my craving for more pumpkin. Great snack and fast breaky! Thanks!
This is exactly what my cup of coffee is missing right now - a match made in heaven 🙂
Because this has the pumpkin it's a great recipe to substitute the AP for gluten free flour.
I have been accumulating cans of pumpkin with the deals that come with Thanksgiving (this weekend for me :)) and can't wait to try all the amazing pumpkin recipes I've been seeing - this will be one of them! And I plan to keep them all to myself, thank you for not judging 🙂
Let's play the "toss the cookies into Bev's mouth" game. Yes?
These look perfect for this time of year. Love just any excuse to enjoy pumpkin.
Scones are one of my favorite pastries to bake! These look tasty and seasonal!
Life changers indeed! Love the chocolate + pumpkin combo 🙂
I'm seemingly obsessed with pumpkin stuff lately too... the latte is my featured post for today! These look awesome with the chocolate chips in there. I made pumpkin scones for the fam yesterday with icing and no chips. They'd have been great with chips!
I am so with you! Nothing better than pumpkin and chocolate!
YUM! i never thought about pumpkin and chocolate chips together until a couple years ago...now i can't get enough!
