These cute Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Mini Scones are the bite-sized morsels of autumn feels that you need in your life! Oat flour, vegan chocolate chips, pumpkin puree, plus a handful of easy ingredients and spices (that you probably already have) combine to make these delightful treats.
What I love most about these mini scones is that (1) they’re not complicated to make and whip up super quickly (2) they’re completely customizable to suit your taste of spices or mix-in’s and (3) they’re perfect for sharing or as a grab ‘n go treat! They pair so perfectly with a cup of coffee (or pumpkin spice latte) with your breakfast, or as a cozy autumn afternoon treat.
INGREDIENTS FOR PUMPKIN SPICE CHOCOLATE CHIP MINI SCONES
You only need 10 ingredients to make these Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Mini Scones! Oat flour and gluten-free all-purpose flour combined with pumpkin puree, my favourite PSL blend from Blume (or recreate your own with simple fall spices), vegan chocolate chips and handful of simple baking ingredients make this recipe burst with fall flavour and utter cuteness (I mean, have you ever seen such adorable little scones before?!).
- Oat Flour + GF All-Purpose Flour combine to make a perfect texture that’s soft, fluffy and slightly chewy
- Fall-Inspired Spices in Blume’s Pumpkin Spice Latte Blend, such as Cinnamon, Ginger, Cloves, Nutmeg, and Cardamom add all the cozy autumn flavours
- Coconut Sugar: This unrefined sugar that comes from the sap of coconut palm trees, adds a caramel-like sweetness and depth of flavour, similar to brown sugar
- Pumpkin Puree is used as a binder and adds a delightful earthy and subtly-sweet flavour, plus the fluffy softness from it’s moisture
- Vegan Chocolate Chips (or Chunks) are truly pumpkin spice’s best friend! The combination of sweet and spice give us that classic taste of fall
HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN SPICE CHOCOLATE CHIP MINI SCONES
These yummy bites take only 30 minutes to make, so when that chocolatey pumpkin spice craving hits you are READY.
- In a large bowl combine the oat flour, GF all-purpose flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, salt, and Blume pumpkin spice blend and whisk until thoroughly mixed.
- Add the cold dice vegan butter to the dry ingredients and work with your hands until the mixture resemble crumbly sand.
- Add the pumpkin puree and plant-milk and continue working the dough until it’s a very sticky mixture. Add the vegan chocolate chips and and continue to combine gently with your hands.
- With floured hands, shape the dough on a floured surface into a single piece about 1/2″ thick. You can also use a rolling pin with parchment paper over the dough.
- Using a dough cutter or pizza cutter, cut the dough into roughly 1-inch squares. Transfer the squares onto a prepared baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush them lightly with plant-milk to glaze. Bake for 15 minutes at 350F, until golden.
- Serve warm with tea or coffee and enjoy.
NOTES:
If you don’t have the Blume PSL blend, you can make a small batch of homemade pumpkin spice blend. For this recipe, use 2 tsp.
In a mason jar, add the following spices and shake vigourously (with the lid on!) to combine:
- 3 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp nutmeg
- 1.5 tsp ground allspice
- 1.5 tsp ground cloves
These mini scones are best served warm out of the oven with a hot and cozy drink in hand! Also, you can warm them in the oven or microwave before serving as well. Mini scones make for an awesome shareable treat at potlucks or parties, as well as a fantastic Thanksgiving dessert! These will keep well in a container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Mini Scones
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp Blume Pumpkin Spice Latte Blend*
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp cold vegan butter, cut into small dice
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp plant-milk, plus 2 tbsp for glazing
- 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F. In a large mixing bowl, add the oat flour and GF all-purpose flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice blend and whisk thoroughly until well combined.
- Next, add the cold diced butter and work with your hands until the mixture resembles crumbly sand.
- Add the pumpkin puree and milk and continue working the dough, without overmixing, until it starts to come together. The mixture will be very sticky!
- Add in the chocolate chips and mix very gently with your hands. Next, lightly flour your work surface to prevent the dough from sticking. With floured hands, shape the dough into a single piece about 1/2 an inch thick. You could also use a rolling pin with a sheet of parchment paper over the dough, but I used my hands ‘cause I don’t really mind the whole ‘rustic’ look.
- Using a dough cutter or pizza cutter, cut the dough into roughly 1-inch squares. Dividing the dough in half and then half again, an so-on-so-forth will give you roughly anywhere from 12-16 squares, depending on how wide you flattened the dough. You can definitely make them bigger too, you just won’t have as many of them.
- Once you’ve cut the dough, place the squares on a prepared baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush them lightly with the remaining plant-milk to glaze and bake them in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, until golden. Serve warm with tea or (pumpkin spice) latte and enjoy!
