    Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Scones are a slightly sweet biscuit full of pumpkin, cinnamon, and mini chocolate chips. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, snack, or a packed lunch.

    Do you make pumpkin everything in the fall? Yea me too! My family are huge pumpkin lovers. These scones are a great way to hit the pumpkin craving and not have it be super sweet. These scones are only a wee bit sweet, and so satisfying. Not only are they delicious, they freeze well too. So you can make a double batch, pop them in the freezer and have them on hand whenever you have a pumpkin craving.

    How to Make Easy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Scones

    Step 1: Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, eggs, and vanilla. Cube the butter and cut it into the flour mix using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until it resembles course crumbs. Stir the pumpkin mix and mini chocolate chips into the flour until everything is just combined. If needed, use your hands to fold the dough and bring it all together.

    Step 2: Shape the Scones

    Place the dough on a parchment lined baking sheet and pat it into an 8 inch circle about 1 inch thick. Using a pizza cutter or dough cutter (also called a bench scraper) cut the circle into 8 triangles. Arrange the triangles on the sheet pan so they are about 2 inches apart.

    Step 3: Bake the Scones

    Bake the scones in a 400° oven for 15-17 minutes until the edges are turning golden brown. Let the scones cool completely on the sheet pan before storing.

    How to Store Pumpkin Scones?

    Store the cooled scones in an air tight container or zip top bag on the counter. They will last on the counter for 3-4 days.

    How to Freeze Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Scones?

    Place the scones in a freezer safe container or zip top bag, between layers of wax paper. Don't forget to label and date the container or bag. Scones will stay fresh in the freezer for 3-4 months.

    To thaw: Simply place on counter for at least 30 minutes.

    Tips for Making the Best Pumpkin Scones with Chocolate Chips

    1. Use COLD butter. Cold butter is what creates the flaky texture.
    2. Use your hands or pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour, leaving sheets or clumps of butter.
    3. Do not over mix the dough. Mixing the dough too much will create a dense and heavy scone.
    4. Fold the dough to bring it together. Folding the dough helps create layers and prevents the scones from being dry.
