  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

    melted

  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup confectioner sugar

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400℉.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients - flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.

  3. 3

    Slice cold butter (make sure it is cold!) into large cubes.

  4. 4

    Cute cold butter into dry flour mixture by using a pastry cutter or grater and then combining them, or using a food processor to pulse butter into the dry mixture. At the end, flour mixture should be fairly dry with small chunks of cold butter. Do not overmix dough.

  5. 5

    In a large bowl, whisk together wet mixture which consist of sour cream, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract and egg.

  6. 6

    Pour four/butter mixture into wet mixture. Use hands to fold flour mixture into wet mixture. After combining, mixture should be slightly crumbly, not too wet or sticky. Do not overmix dough. Form dough into a large ball.

  7. 7

    Flour surface, and place dough ball on surface.

  8. 8

    Press dough down to form a round circle with ~9 inch in diameter.

  9. 9

    Slice scones into 8 triangles of approximately the same size. Place each of them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, 1-2 inches apart from each other.

  10. 10

    Bake for ~17-18 minutes.

  11. 11

    While scones are baking, make Maple Glaze by combining melted butter (use microwave to melt it completely until it is in liquid form), maple syrup and powdered sugar.

  12. 12

    Once scones are done, cool completely using a baking rack.

  13. 13

    Drizzle scones with maple glaze.

  14. 14

    Serve and enjoy!

Pumpkin Bundt Cake With Maple Brown-Butter Glaze

Pumpkin Bundt Cake With Maple Brown-Butter Glaze

Bundt cakes are classic showstoppers — big, lofty and usually dressed in elegant drizzles and drips of glaze. Here, a dense, moist cake full of warm fall spices and pumpkin purée is encased in a layer of rich, nutty brown-butter maple glaze. Feel free to make it a day before you plan to serve it: This cake keeps well at room temperature, and you might think it's even better on the second day. Just make sure to keep it covered and resist the urge to shave off a slice every time you walk by. If you can find it, use organic confectioners' sugar for the glaze. It's made from raw sugar and uses tapioca rather than cornstarch as its anticaking agent. It will give the glaze a richer taste and smoother texture than conventional confectioners’ sugar — a tip picked up from Stella Parks.

About this Recipe

Craving the ultimate taste of autumn mornings? These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Scones with Maple Glaze are your perfect answer, delivering warm, comforting flavors in a delightful pastry that’s ready surprisingly fast.

What truly sets these pumpkin chocolate chip scones apart is their perfect balance of classic scone texture—moist on the inside, with a delicate crumble on the outside—achieved partly by the cold butter and a touch of sour cream. The harmonious blend of warm pumpkin spices with rich chocolate chips, all crowned by a sweet, simple maple glaze, comes together efficiently, making this a true weeknight treat or a weekend baking project without the fuss.

Get ready for a truly delightful bite that captures the essence of fall. You'll experience a scone that is wonderfully tender and rich, never dry, with a golden-brown exterior. Each mouthful brings the comforting warmth of cinnamon and nutmeg, perfectly complemented by the bursts of melted chocolate chips. The final touch is the elegant, sweet drizzle of maple glaze, which adds another layer of irresistible flavor and a slight sheen to these inviting pastries. They are hearty enough to satisfy, yet light enough to feel like a special indulgence.

This recipe offers flexibility to suit your preferences. For instance, while the recipe calls for standard chocolate chips, feel free to use dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even white chocolate chips to vary the sweetness and flavor profile. If you're looking for a less sweet treat, you can easily reduce the quantity of chocolate chips or skip them entirely for a pure pumpkin scone experience. Similarly, you can adjust the warmth of the spices by slightly increasing or decreasing the ground cinnamon and nutmeg to match your taste.

These delightful scones are ideal for a cozy breakfast, an afternoon tea treat, or a delightful dessert with a cup of coffee. They bring a touch of fall charm to any occasion.
