Starbucks Copycat Pumpkin Scones Gluten Free Vegan And Paleo Recipes

STARBUCKS COPYCAT PUMPKIN SCONES (GLUTEN-FREE, VEGAN, AND PALEO)

Steps:

• Pre-soak nuts and strained or boiling water for 15 minutes For AIP version, use 1 cup warmed coconut manna instead.
• Place coconut oil and coconut butter in an oven safe baking dish or glass container and place in a toaster (or microwave) for a few minutes to warm up the oil and butter and let them melt a little. Note: If your maple syrup or pumpkin puree are colder than room temp, include them in this as well so that all the ingredients are warm enough not to make the coconut oil solidify.
• Pour the coconut oil, coconut butter, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, hot water, vanilla, and spices into a large mixing bowl and blend all the ingredients together into a smooth mixture using an immersion blender (you can also mix by hand or put this mixture through a food processor and then pour into a mixing bowl).
• Cut out a piece of parchment paper large enough to cover a cookie sheet. Place it on a cutting board and set aside.
• Add coconut flour and tapioca starch to the liquid mixture in the mixing bowl and mix using a wooden spoon to combine the liquid ingredients with the dry. Now it's time to get your hands dirty - you'll notice the batter will need more mixing than your wooden spoon can handle. Use your hands to thoroughly knead the dough and then lump it into a large ball.
• Place the dough ball onto parchment paper on the cutting board. Flatten it with your hands into a 1″ tall disc. Fix up and round off all the edges with your hands so that the disc looks nice and rounded everywhere. Using a knife cut the disc into 8 triangles (I first cut mine into 4 parts forming a cross, and then cut each triangle in half). Do not separate the scones just yet. Place the entire cutting board into the fridge and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F Once the scones have chilled, remove from the fridge and transfer the parchment paper along with the scones onto a cookie sheet. Carefully separate and spread the scones apart on the cookie sheet on top of the parchment. Bake scones for approximately 22-26 minutes (watch the edges and remove from oven when they begin to brown up). Then, cool the tray on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
• In the meantime prepare the glaze by placing all glaze ingredients in your blender and blend on high until smooth. I used my Vitamix for this and recommend it for smoothest results (or another high power blender). If your blender isn't up to scratch, you may want to add a tiny bit more non-dairy milk to help it blend better. Once the scones are cooled a little, use a spoon to spread this glaze over each scone, but RESERVE about a third of the mixture for the next step (just leave it in the blender).
• Add pumpkin spice drizzle ingredients to the blender. Blend on high to create a smooth mixture. Transfer into a squirty bottle or a piping bag and then drizzle over the glaze on the scones. Serve warm with a hot cup of coffee, or enjoy these chilled (or reheated in the toaster) for an incredible breakfast treat!

COPYCAT STARBUCKS PUMPKIN SCONES

Steps:

• Scones:.
• Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and spices into a bowl and set aside. Whisk together the pumpkin puree, egg and heavy cream and set aside. Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and mix together with your fingertips until the butter is pea-sized. Add the wet ingredients and mix until just combined, making sure not to overwork the dough. On a work surface, pat the dough into a circle about 2 inches thick and cut out six equal wedges. Place on a baking sheet covered with parchment and brush the tops with heavy cream. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes, turning once during baking. Cool on a wire rack. Once the scones are cool, ice the scones with the vanilla icing first, then drizzle the cinnamon icing on top. Scones are best enjoyed fresh baked but will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Icing:.
• Mix together sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth. Reserve a 1/4 of the icing, mix with cinnamon powder and set aside. Ice the scones with a layer of the vanilla icing first, then drizzle the cinnamon icing on top.

BETTER-THAN-STARBUCKS PUMPKIN SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper. Set aside.
• To a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Mix until combined.
• Plop in the coconut oil and, using a pastry blender (or two butter knives or your hands), work the coconut oil into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• To a medium bowl, add the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, and egg. Whisk together.
• Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and, with a wooden spoon or spatula, mix JUST until it starts to come together. Turn the mixture out onto a clean surface prepped with a sprinkle of flour to help prevent sticking. Finish mixing and shape the dough into an approximately 1-inch thick, 7-inch by 7-inch square. It should be a bit wet but not overly sticky - add a bit more flour if it is.
• Cut the square in half and then each half into three rectangles.
• Transfer the rectangles to your baking sheet.
• Bake about 15 minutes, until puffed, lightly browned on top, and - I feel silly describing this - but how I really know is when they look a bit dry when you peer into the little cracks.
• Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack. Let cool completely.
• Now glaze! In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, water, and vanilla. Just keep stirring, just keep stirring, until the icing is a spreadable consistency. If it's too thick, add a few more drops of water. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar. Transfer three tablespoons of the icing to a small bowl and set aside - this will be used for the cinnamon icing.
• Use a pastry brush to liberally spread the icing over the scones. If it seems a bit messy/thick at first, don't worry - it'll smooth on out and look divine momentarily.
• Now make the cinnamon icing. Add cinnamon and turmeric to the three tablespoons of reserved icing and mix well. Transfer to a plastic baggie and squeeze the icing to one corner. Snip off a tiny bit of the corner and squeeze the glaze over the top of the scones.
• Enjoy now or let sit for a bit longer to let the glaze harden.
• Scones keep well at room temperature for 3-4 days, though they definitely don't last that long around here.
