They may not be the prettiest scones, but they sure are tasty. For today’s Pumpkin Week recipe I baked Pumpkin-Cranberry Scones from Veganomicon. These vegan scones are perfectly spiced and really more cake-like than scone- like.They also use fresh cranberries, which I had to coarsely chop. How do you coarsely chop fresh cranberries with out them rolling all over the place?
you don’t!
these sound delicious – great combination!
Wow. Those sound amazing.
I chopped whole cranberries one time. And I say one time, because I don’t plan to do it again.
I wonder if just a really quick whirl in a food processor would work–maybe not, but possibly worth a try.
The scones look great!
Mmmm, I wish I had one of these for breakfast tomorrow,they look fantastic!
These look great and I love the pumpkin seeds.
i actually like the looks of that scone!
What great looking scones. PRETTY! Do you suppose dried cranberries would work?
Wonderful! I am going to make these soon.
That would be so good with coffee. I need to make myself a little batch of pumpkin-something.
I wonder if there’s a way you could crush the cranberries to flatten them before chopping; maybe by putting them in a bag and using a rolling pin?
I’ve been following your blog/tweets for some time now. Thank you so much for sharing all your baking. I check everyday to see what’s cookin’.
You’ve inspired me to take on pumpkin, I know I love it, just never thought of it when baking.
Thanks again.
Namaste.
Well, it certainly seems you were successful in chopping the fresh cranberries. Looks good.
I was just flipping through Veganomicon with my mom last night and talking about how you inspired me to buy it.
I was going to make pumpkin scones tomorrow anyway…
If you figure out how to chop the cranberries without them rolling off the counter let me know
I have the same problem!
Can anyone who has tried this recipe tell me what the consistency of the dough was when you put it on the baking sheet? I ended up with more of a batter than a dough – and trying to cut them before baking, as suggested in the recipe, was not working at all… did I do something horribly wrong? (They’re in the oven now- I guess I’ll see in about 30 minutes…)
Thanks!
p.s. I cut the cranberries in a mini food processor…
I just finished eating my first one. Deeeeelish! I ended up with a batter instead of dough, and more of a pumpkin cranberry muffin, not a scone. After one bite, I didn’t care what it was called. BTW, I used dried cranberries.
