01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix together the flours, oats, wheat germ, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse sand.

Step 2
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, milk, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until everything comes together — don’t overmix.

Step 3
Divide the dough between your prepared sheets and gently pat each one into an 8-inch circle, about half to three-quarters of an inch thick. Use a butter knife to score each circle into six wedges, then sprinkle the tops with some raw sugar for a little crunch.

Step 4
Pop the scones in the oven and bake for about 14 to 17 minutes, until the edges turn a nice light brown. Keep an eye on them so they don’t dry out. Let the scones cool on the pans for about 10 minutes before serving — they’re best enjoyed warm!
Why you’ll love it

How to serve
Enjoy warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey. They also pair well with cream cheese or your favorite jam. For a seasonal touch, serve alongside a hot cup of chai or spiced tea.
