I know, it’s November and I’m still posting pumpkin recipes. I’m sorry. I strongly believe that pumpkin season runs from October 1 until Christmas.
Yes, I have strong beliefs about pumpkin. Whatever.
Plus, I haven’t yet transitioned from a PSL to a Gingerbread Latte so… still pumpkin season!
Anyway, we didn’t talk about Halloween yesterday. How was it?! Did you eat ALL THE CANDY?!
I did. But it’s not my fault.
We got ONE trick-or-treater. ONE. So I now have 3 bowls of candy staring at me every time I walk into the kitchen.
I had a game plan that involved spending the first hour (trick-or-treating on post is 2 hours long) walking around the ‘hood and then the next hour sitting on the porch, handing out candy. Apparently everyone else had the same idea because the neighborhood was completely dead by the time we were ready to hand out candy.
Gahhh, so yeah, I have all this candy. And the good stuff! Almond Joys and White Chocolate Kit Kats! They’re just calling out to me every time I walk by.
Back to the pumpkin. I made scones! Because the cool weather just makes me crave scones for some reason.
These are Pumpkin White Chocolate Scones and since I love both pumpkin and white chocolate more than I probably should, you know I’m obsessed with these. My children were oddly into them, too. I had one (or two, shhhh) as a midnight snack the day I baked them and then the next morning, my children polished them off.

Pumpkin White Chocolate Scones
adapted from Creations by Kara
Ingredients
For the scones:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, spices, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and the largest butter pieces are no bigger than peas. Mix in the butterscotch chips.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, pumpkin puree and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir together just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
- Transfer to a well-floured surface and roll into a large rectangle, about ¾" thick. Cut scones into desired shape and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until the tops are browned and the scones are cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before glazing.
- To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, cinnamon, and milk. Drizzle over the cooled scones. Let set before serving.

One of the things I never got around to making this fall was pumpkin scones. And I wish I had (and don’t worry, I still have a few more pumpkin recipes in my drafts yet and totally agree with you about pumpkin season!) Pinned :)
Joanne says
I am eternally in the mood for pumpkin, so keep the recipes coming! These sound like the perfect breakfast treat to me.
Jessica @ A Kitchen Addiction says
Pumpkin recipes definitely deserve the spotlight until Christmas! I love a good scone, and these look perfect!
Renee@Two in the Kitchen says
Pumpkin recipes belong in November in my opinion. I most crave pumpkin around Thanksgiving time so this is perfect!! These scones look heavenly! :)
Nutmeg Nanny says
Are the gingerbread lattes out yet? Because if they are I’m about to make the transition! There is only Starbucks that has a drive-thru near me and they are renovating so I can’t check. I guess I could go to the other location but it’s not a drive-thru and I’m literally that lazy. Now, pumpkin. Girl this whole week is pumpkin recipes for me! Pumpkin (much like apples) can live well into December :)
amanda says
Yeah, Gingerbread is back! Along with the red cups!
Martha@A Family Feast says
I don’t plan on stopping with the pumpkin recipes anytime soon! These look fantastic!
Kristi @ Inspiration Kitchen says
I love scones! For me, they are right up there in favorite breakfasts, along with smoothies! Pinned!
Marissa | Pinch and Swirl says
I totally agree – pumpkin season lasts at least until Christmas. These scones look so good – I bet they smell amazing as they bake.
p.s. I had to trash the rest of my Halloween candy – I kept having ‘one more piece’. ;)
heather @french press says
the more pumpkin the merrier – it is still pumpkin season in my book – and we had two trick or treaters so I feel you on the candy. I swear I can hear it calling me from the top shelf
Amanda says
Love love love these. Seriously my favorite flavors in all the land… LOVE that you made a scone! You are so stinkin smart. :)
Christi @ Love From The Oven says
Why am I not eating these RIGHT NOW??? Scones, good! Pumpkin, good! White Chocolate, good! Need to make these happen asap!
Anna @ Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
I just bought a whole case of pumpkin puree so I’ll be baking pumpkin treats for a while! These scones look so good! I would love one for breakfast right now!
Chelsea @chelseasmessyapron says
Haha!!! Love your strong beliefs about pumpkin because I totally agree with them! And these scones look completely amazing!! Love the white chocolate addition. Wow, I can’t believe you only got 1 trick or treater!! We only got a few, but at least more than one!
Aimee @ ShugarySweets says
I totally agree with your pumpkin season dates. Except ours extends through March. I don’t usually post recipes on the blog…but we tend to cook and bake with it all winter!
Julie | This Gal Cooks says
Pumpkin is totally acceptable through Christmas! Loving these scones. I could go for one of these with my coffee this morning!
