I must apologize for being a no-show for the past week. I never dreamed that morning sickness would last 24 hours a day.
But, thank goodness that I got ahead of myself before I started feeling sick and baked up these yummy scones!
I just modified my recipe for whole wheat lemon blueberry scones to make these beauties. 🙂
I didn’t get a chance to try them….bad aversion to pumpkin (and any baked good for that matter). So, I sent them on to my husband’s coworkers. They got rave reviews. And I would take that as meaning that these are a winner!
Oh, and they freeze wonderfully.
What is your favorite pumpkin baked good?

I’m already a huge fan of your whole wheat blueberry scones so I’m sure these are amazing! I love that first picture. 🙂
An aversion to pumpkin is really sad. My favorite pumpkin baked good, or any baked good (at the moment), is baked whole grain pumpkin donuts. I’m obsessed with them. I hope you’re feeling at least a little better soon!
I seriously need to invest in a donut pan. 🙂
You can make them in a mini muffin pan! Or even a regular muffin pan. Or wait until someone gives you one for Christmas and then make them next fall when your baked goods aversion has passed. 🙂
Considering how much I love your lemon and blueberry scones, I’m sure I would love these, too!
It seems like everyone is in a pumpkin craze! I haven’t had time to make any pumpkin desserts yet, but this will definitely be on the list. Gorgeous pictures, but the way.
I hope you start feeling better soon! These scones sound delish.
Mmm perfect for what I’m craving right now. Something baked, something healthy, something for fall!
These scones look so delicious! And I’m sorry you’re not feeling well! I hope you feel better soon!
Aw, I know exactly what you mean about morning sickness and food aversions. I hope it doesn’t get too bad or last too long for you! Don’t be afraid of or feel bad about taking some time “off”. Your scones look gorgeous. I don’t make scones often(I don’t know why, I love them!) but I’ve really been wanting to make pumpkin ones. I’ll use your recipe for sure when I do make some – love all that whole wheat flour 😀
Caroline… these are beautiful. I’m not sure how you’re managing to cook during 1st trimester. I basically veg’d on the sofa with both pregnancies during that time #Blech
As an aside I launched a new food photo sharing site today w/a fellow RD that’s totally dedicated to healthy food. If you have a minute, we would love for you to share these! http://www.healthyaperture.com
Hang in there. It DOES get better!
Congratulations on your pregnancy!! These scones look like the perfect fall treat! Hope your morning/all day sickness gets better!
I can’t believe I missed the big news! Congratulations Caroline, that’s wonderful, not the morning sickness part of it I’m sure! lol
Congratulations Caroline. Hope your pregnancy goes smooth with morning sickness behind you.
These scones looks phenomenal. Would make a perfect breakfast with a cup of tea.
Hope you feel better soon!! The scones look great, pumpkin scones are my very favorite variety.
I made these a few weeks ago and my kids have been begging for me to make them again! Delicious!
