Quick Vegan Pumpkin Spice Scones With Flax Seeds

the80srule's Note:

Yes my dear Veggie Swap buddies, I've jumped on the scone bandwagon! After enjoying Prose's Vegan Tomato-Rosemary Scones (With Gluten-Free Option), I was just thinking as I took a scrumptious bite of one that I could totally see replacing the tomato sauce with pumpkin puree, using a neutral oil, and swapping out the pepper with pumpkin pie spice; and the sugar content was just perfect because it made them sweet but not overly so.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 10

Yield: 10.0 scones

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/3 cup sunflower oil
• 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons brown flax seeds

Directions:

1. Sift all the dry ingredients in a large bowl together.
2. Mix the wet ingredients with the flax seeds in another bowl, then add to the large bowl with the dry ingredients.
3. Mix the dough by hand, but don't over-mix. It should be a little floury and crumbly.
4. Grease a cookie sheet with cooking spray then form small discs with the dough, about 9-10 of them, and space them out evenly.
5. Bake at 400F for 12-15 minutes or until set.
