Healthy Pumpkin Scones

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup Hemp Protein
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3 tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1/2 cup margarine (can be vegan)
  • 1 1/2 cans pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup chopped dates
  • 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts
  • small amount of flax seed and oatmeal combined

Preparation:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients (protein powder, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and spice). When mixed, combine with the canned pumpkin and margarine.

On a floured cutting board, knead the dough a few times into a ball. The dough can be a little on the wet side, so add more flour as needed to work. Sprinkle the flax seed and oatmeal over the top and then flaten into half inch circle. Cut the 'pie' into eight equal pieces. If you like your scones on the small side, you can also cut it twelve ways.

Bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until done.
