Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Whole Wheat Scones: No Sugar Added

 

Pumpkin pie flavor in a flaky, tasty scone with or without chocolate chips! A little indulgent yes, wonderful on occasions, yes again! A few more calories and fat than I normally post, but well worth it my friends, your family will love these!

 

 

This recipe is a little adaption from my Clean Eating Strawberry scones. I’ve eliminated the sucanat sweetener all together so these are simple with stevia. If you don’t have stevia then go ahead and use the 1 cup of sucanat like in the strawberry scone recipe.

 

 

Mix up the dough, flatten as above, use an oiled pizza slicer to make 8 triangles then separate with a spatula, easy peasy. And they bake in only about 15-20 minutes!

 

 

My family LOVED these! I think your will too!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Whole Wheat Scones: No Sugar Added

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tablespoon stevia powder
  • 5 tablespoons cold, butter cut in 1/4 inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk of choice, I used 1%.
  • 1 cup pure pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips ( I used grain sweetened)

Directions

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg and stevia in a large bowl. Using two butter knives, cut the butter in the flour mixture until pieces of butter are coated with flour the size of peas. Make a well in the flour mixture and mix the milk and vanilla extract in a small bowl then pour into the well. Stir in pumpkin till combined. Gently add in chocolate chips if using. Gently stir the dough and form a ball. Flour your hands and dust your clean counter surface with flour. Place the dough on the floured surface and knead a few times. Transfer the dough to the lined baking sheet and shape it into about an 8 inch circle. Using as oiled pizza cutter, slice the dough into 8 triangles. Use a spatula to separate the wedges. Bake the scones until they are golden brown about 15-18 minutes. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes then carefully slide them on to a wire rack to cool for another 10 minutes before serving.

  2. I was wondering if liquid chocolate stevia or even the vanilla liquid would work in this receipe. If so, what would be the measurement adjustment?

  3. Could you please tell me where you are finding the “Grain sweetened” chocolate chips. I used to buy Sunspree brand at my local Whole Foods but they no longer have them. I contacted the manufacturer and they said they are out of stock but that was over 6 month’s ago!

    • I had bought quite a few bags from Whole Foods. They are out of stock apparently but should be back on shelves in Dec 2012. Another great option I’ve used and like is carob chips sweetened with brown rice syrup found at Whole Foods as well.

      • Well, I don’t think that worked out so well, substituting the honey for the stevia. The dough was like cookie dough! I couldn’t knead it or shape it. Put it in a loaf pan and will try to salvage it as pumpkin chocolate chip bread! Maybe the honey made it too moist? Still looking forward to eating it though; it sure looks yummy. Just curious of your thoughts on the honey thing.

        • sorry about that, maybe 1/2 cup of honey was too much, hope you could salvage it. In my strawberry scones I used about 1/4 cup honey and they were delicious.

  5. Tried this…couldn’t get the dough to be firm….it was sticky and runny. I added flour, but the dough still didn’t take shape.
