Scone Ingredients:

 

 -1.5 cup whole wheat flour

 -1/2 cup oats

 -1/2 cup Boku Super Protein powder

 -1/4 cup coconut sugar

 -1 1/2 tsp baking powder

 -1/2 tsp baking soda

 -1/2 tsp salt

 -1 tbsp pumpkin spice

 -2 tsp cinnamon

 -4 tbsp chilled coconut oil (it should be hard)

 -3/4 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk

 -1/2 cup pureed pumpkin

 -1 tsp vanilla extract

 

Glaze Ingredients: 

 

-2/3 organic powdered sugar

-2-3 tsp coconut milk

-1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract

-1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice

  

Directions: 

 

1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray a round cake pan with nonstick spray.
2. Whisk the flour, oats, Boku Super Protein powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Blend together the cold coconut oil into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Mix the almond milk, pumpkin, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Add to flour mixture, stirring until moistened.
4. Transfer the dough to the round cake pan and pat down until evenly filled. Brush the dough with a little more milk using a pastry brush, then sprinkle some more sugar.
5. Bake the scones for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove from the pan and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into about 8 slices.
6. To make the glaze, whisk together all the ingredients until smooth. Add just 2 tsp of coconut milk initially, then add more if needed to reach a good consistency. Drizzle over scones once cooled.
