    I am all about easy breakfast recipes. I love to be able to whip up a batch of muffins like my Banana Carrot Muffins to stick in the freezer for the week, or make a couple batches of Matcha Overnight Oats for a super fast grab-and-go option. And, if I have a little more time, I can never resist Vegan Pumpkin Pancakes or Vegan Mini Monkey Bread.

    And these Vegan Pumpkin Scones are fast, delicious and freeze really well! I make them on the weekend and pop them into the freezer for quick breakfasts all week. They are absolutely delicious and jam-packed with pumpkin purée and pumpkin pie spices. The perfect way to kick off your Autumn baking!

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • This recipe is super easy, so it's great for beginners.
    • And it utilizes simple, easy-to-find ingredients.
    • The Pumpkin Scones are vegan, dairy-free and eggless, so anyone can enjoy them!
    • They bake up tender, and super moist. No dry or crumbly scones, here!
    • And most, importantly, they are absolutely delicious.

    Ingredient Notes

    Ingredients needed for making this recipe in small bowls on a marble surface.

    Canned Pumpkin Purée: Be sure to use pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling!

    Non-Dairy Butter: Use a vegan butter that comes in stick or block form like Soy-Free Earth Balance Buttery Sticks, or Violife. Avoid any non-dairy butter that comes in a tub!

    Brown Sugar: Brown sugar pairs so well with pumpkin and spices, so I added some to the scone dough to sweeten it up.

    Pumpkin Pie Spice: I add a hefty amount of pumpkin pie spice to these vegan pumpkin scones scones for maximum Fall flavor.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

    Step 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Toss to combine and be sure to break up the brown sugar!

    Step 2. Use your hands or a fork to cut the cold cubed vegan butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

    Then, add the pumpkin purée, non-dairy milk, vinegar and vanilla and use your hands to toss everything together until moist.

    Step 3. Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Gently press it into a circle with a 7" diameter.

    Then, cut the circle into 8 triangles using a sharp knife. Transfer the scones to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

    Step 4. Bake the Vegan Pumpkin Scones in a 400* F oven for 18-22 minutes or until the scones are golden brown across the bottoms.

    Allow them to cool for at least 10 minutes before glazing.

    Recipe FAQs

    How should I store these Vegan Pumpkin Scones?

    To store, place the scones into an airtight container and store them in the freezer for up to a month. Reheat in a toaster oven for best results!

    What to avoid when making scones?

    Avoid over-mixing and overworking the dough. It will cause your scones to be tough. Also, work quickly, so all the ingredients stay cold!

    What are vegan scones made of?

    Scones typically contain dairy and eggs. Instead, vegan scones use non-dairy butter and milk. I don't replace the eggs with an obvious egg replacer, instead I add more moisture through non-dairy milk.

    Expert Recipe Tips

    Don't overwork the dough! It will cause your Vegan Pumpkin Scones to be tough. Gently toss everything together with your hands, then tip it the dough onto a work surface and gently pat it into a circle. Avoid kneading and over-mixing!

    Keep the vegan butter in the refrigerator until you are ready to use. I like to cube it first, then pop it back into the refrigerator while I gather the other ingredients.
