Pumpkin Raisin Scones image

If you like pumpkin, you'll love these. They are more like a muffin than a traditional scone. I've altered the recipe to make them healthier.

Time 29m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon allspice
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup butter, softened
½ cup applesauce
2 ¼ cups sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
1 cup finely chopped pecans
2 cups golden raisins
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
  • In a large bowl, stir together all-purpose and whole wheat flours, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix in ginger, allspice, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, cream butter until fluffy. Mix in applesauce, then slowly stir in 2 1/4 cups sugar until well blended. Mix in the eggs and pumpkin. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Then stir in pecans and raisins.
  • Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto cookie sheets, leaving 2 inches between scones. Flatten scones with the back of the spoon.
  • In a small bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons of sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle on top of scones.
  • Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown, about 12 to 14 minutes. Remove, and let cool on cookie sheets 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool.
