Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats (plus extra for topping)

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1 cup pumpkin purée

1/2 cup chopped candied ginger

1 large egg

1/4 cup milk or cream (plus extra for brushing)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar.

Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, egg, milk or cream, and vanilla extract.

Add wet mixture to dry ingredients, fold in candied ginger, and stir just until combined.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, shape into a 1-inch-thick disk, and cut into 8 wedges.

Place wedges on prepared baking sheet, brush tops with milk or cream, and sprinkle with oats.

Bake for 18–22 minutes, until golden and set. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Swap candied ginger for dried cranberries or dates for a flavor variation.

Add cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin pie spice for extra warmth.

Drizzle with powdered sugar glaze after cooling for a sweeter touch.

Use plant-based butter and milk for dairy-free scones.
