I do enjoy baking from scratch, but sometimes, I’m up for trying shortcuts. I found this recipe by perusing the Weight Watchers boards, because I wanted to try something a little different than pumpkin bread for breakfast.
This was a pretty good scone, but I think the recipe needs a little work. I think next time, I’m going to try brown sugar, more white sugar and more spices. I also didn’t have Splenda, which was recommended for the recipe, so I subbed sugar.
This was also a fairly wet batter, so I couldn’t really shape these like traditional scones. I ended up using a large cookie scoop to scoop individual scones out, and it worked out fine.

Can’t wait to try these out!
Mmmm…I made these last night and they were FABULOUS! Thanks for posting!!
So glad you liked them! 🙂 Enjoy!!
Do you think these would hold up well to freezing after you bake them?
Yes, they hold up very well frozen. I individually wrap mine in Saran wrap, then put all of them in a large freezer bag. Works great!
Awesome! Thanks! I’m going to try making these tomorrow.
I just made these and they’re really good. I didn’t have the individual spices, so I used a Tbsp of pumpkin pie spice. I burnt the top a little, so I’ll cook them a little less next time.
