These sugar-free scones are a pumpkin lover's delight with plenty of pumpkin and spice to feed your craving! Because this recipe is low in sugar with satiating fats and fiber, they make a great breakfast option. Best of all, these scones are gluten-free and ready to enjoy in under an hour!
Ok, I know, I know. It's been 'pumpkin season for a month now. LOL But, better late than never, right? I will admit that these scones were a little delayed because I've been making pumpkin bagels on repeat for the last 6 weeks. Don't @ me. They are seriously so good! Did I mention the bagels are also freezer friendly? A meal preppers dream!
Ok, back to our extra tasty scones! I found a maple cream cheese at the grocery store and had been topping my bagels with that. While I was enjoying that basic fall combo, I was thinking of other ways to use my favorite (all year round 😉) monk fruit sweetener and scones popped into my head! Who doesn't love a scone with a hot cup of tea on a chilly winter morning? The cream cheese I was using on my bagels inspired the maple glaze! Can you think of better fall flavors than pumpkin and maple? I don't think so!
In keeping with my tradition of making recipes low sugar with monk fruit and erythritol, I used my favorite Now Real Food® Organic Pumpkin Spice Monk Fruit Sweetener. I love using their entire liquid monk fruit sweetener line because they add the sweetness you're looking for in a recipe without adding any calories! It's also 200x sweetener than traditional sugars, so a little bit goes a loooong way! And unlike other zero-calorie sweeteners, there is no funky aftertaste!
The pumpkin spice monk fruit has all the pumpkin spice flavor you're looking for in a matter of a few drops! There is no need to add any spices, sugars, etc., to get that fall flavor we look forward to all year long.
I use it in bagels, as you know 😉, muffins, my iced and hot coffee, oatmeal, smoothies, mixed into yogurt, cream cheese, cottage cheese, etc.! The ways to use the pumpkin spice monk fruit, or any of their monk fruit sweeteners, are literally endless!
Yes, this recipe, and entire meal prep, can be made vegan with two simple swaps! That's the other thing I love about the monk fruit sweeteners! They are all vegan, gluten-free, keto-friendly, etc., making it extra easy to adjust a recipe to meet almost all diets! If you want to make this recipe vegan, the egg can be replaced with a vegan egg alternative, and the cottage cheese swapped for dairy-free yogurt of choice.
So, if you're like me and enjoy some pumpkin spice flavor all year long, grab a couple of bottles (they will LAST!), so you can join me in making pumpkin spice an all-year-long trend.
