01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it warms up, spread the pecans out on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 5 minutes, until they’re golden and smell amazing. Once toasted, roughly chop the pecans and set them aside.

Step 2
Next, crank the oven up to 425°F (220°C) and lightly oil a large rimmed baking sheet. In a big bowl, mix together the all-purpose and whole wheat flours, baking powder, and salt. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture looks crumbly.

Step 3
In a separate bowl, stir the water and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves. Pour that into the flour mixture, then fold in the pumpkin puree and the chopped pecans until everything just comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and pop it into the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up.

Step 4
Once chilled, divide the dough into five pieces. Shape each into a ball, gently flatten them a little, and place them about an inch apart on your prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the biscuits are puffed up and golden on top.

Step 5
Let them cool on a wire rack for about 20 minutes before digging in. Enjoy!
