And he know’s that if he doesn’t specify how he wants them…
there will be crunchy things or chocolatey things added.
So, the other day he was working on his car and wanted scones with his coffee to keep him going.
Haha! There was no stipulation on the scone because he was distracted with pulling out the engine.
I could have gone super crazy with all sorts of yummy things.
Visions of butterscotch and toffee were floating through my brain…
but I restrained myself this time and threw the bags of goodies back in the cupboard.
These weren’t for me after all:-)
I decided to go with a semi plain coffee pumpkin scone.
My pumpkin obsession is going strong…I have been making everything pumpkin lately!
Hopefully my family doesn’t get sick of it because we have a month to go.
One thing about scones that I am not fond of is that I think they are dry.
Maybe I haven’t had a good one, or maybe that’s just how they are supposed to be.
But I prefer a softer and flakier kind of a biscuit scone.
So this recipe is what I have come up with.
I use the same base recipe and just change it out based on what flavor I’m going for.
This time I reduced the cream and added the pumpkin.
They turned out so good.
The pumpkin wasn’t super overwhelming but you could definitely taste it.
It paired perfectly with the slight coffee flavor too.
In case you were wondering, yes, I did leave some plain jane just for my hubby.
Well, ok, I only left 3 plain.
The rest just looked so nekkid that I had to do something.
I figured that a coffee glaze and a few chocolate chips to cover them up wasn’t going too overboard:-)
Slightly plain scones with a jazzed up topping…win win for both of us!!!

Pumpkin latte scones? Can I please come live with you!? (I’m really good about vacuuming AND I also love candy-filled scones, so win-win, methinks). These look phenom and I don’t think I could ever tire of pumpkin baking–it’s just so awesome!
Oh my gosh! These look truly DELECTABLE!!! I’m making these this weekend! YUM!!
Yay! I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!!!
Mmmm I love pumpkin scones. And these are so pretty!
They look yummy, but I’m with your husband. I prefer mine nekkid!
Sounds and Looks WONDERFUL!! And I agree on the dryness of some scones. I guess it all depends on how fresh they are.
I have tried a few recipes that were dry right out of the oven. Not good:-( That’s why I had to come up with one that I liked!!!
These are perfect, I really love scones but have no self control when I make them. I need these!
I LOVE scones. I rarely make them because my WEIRD husband doesn’t like them and so that means I’d eat them ALL. =) I may just have to make an exception on these because they sound fabulous–you know I love anything pumpkin!!
I had the same problem with these…I couldn’t stop eating them!!! Definitely make these:-)
I just saw you post these on FB + had to pop over + check them out. They look lovely! And I love that you made some candyfied for you, some plain jane for him. what a fab wife you are! =)
Thanks for popping in! I’m glad you loved the plain and the candy versions:-)
Delicious Jocelyn! I want one. Hey, I’ve been meaning to ask…do you use a lightscoop?
i’ve never made scones before! while I loooooove them to pieces at coffee shops, I just haven’t ever gotten around to making them myself Jocelyn! I think I’d go with pumpkin though – great choice!
I’m pretty confident that you could create some killer flavors girl!!! This time of year though, pumpkin is a given!!!
These look gorgeous!!

Jocelyn…thank you for joining us again…and thank you for sharing another delicious recipe…I have never tried these before but I do love scones and I do love pumpkin spice…sooooo would probably love these…..thanks again…talk to you soon…xo
They look so good! The icing is just perfectly!! applied! And the choc chips and of course, incorporating a PSL into a dessert/pastry…even better!
Chocolate always adds just the right touch, especially with anything pumpkin related:-)
Like your husband, my husbands likes everything plain but I too, like to add all sorts of goodies on top. I don’t think I’ve ever had a scone, but those look so yummy.
Ohhhh YUM! I am starving right now and I just wish i could just reach right through this screen and grab that scone! YUM! Thank you SO much for linking up at Happy Hour and for making me drool!

Can you substitue instant espresso for the coffee granules?
I think that would work just fine too. It will just be a stronger coffee flavor.
