These Eggless Pumpkin Chai Scones are warm, flaky, buttery… the perfect fall breakfast, snack, or treat! They’re super simple to make and will have you baking them weekly.
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Oregon Chai®. The opinions and text are all mine.
After Labor Day, all I can think about is pumpkin, cinnamon, caramel, or apple. So yesterday, I decided to open my first can of pure pumpkin of the season to make these delicious Eggless Pumpkin Chai Scones.
These scones are tender and flaky with just the right amount of pumpkin and warm spices. You can really taste the richness of the chai tea in every bite. They bake up nice and big and then get a sweet glaze bath that takes them from seriously delicious to insanely addicting.
My family INHALED these scones! But I made sure to save a few to eat in my much needed “me time” when everyone is gone. After a fun and loooong loooong summer, I had completely forgotten this time existed. 9:30 am, it’s my official “me time” when I and my thoughts get to have a date with these delightful Eggless Pumpkin Chai Scones and a cup of tea or coffee.

TIPS AND TRICKS TO MAKE SCONES:
- Make sure the butter is COLD.
- Measure the ingredients properly. The best way to measure the flour is by scooping it out of the bag and into a dry measuring cup with a spoon. Use a knife or other straight-edged utensil to level the flour across the measuring cup.
- Avoid over-mixing the dough. Too much stirring will toughen your scones.
- There are different ways to form scones:
- Using a large ice cream scoop or spoon, dollop the scone dough in 1/3-cupfuls onto a prepared baking sheet.
- Roll dough into a circle, about 3/4 of an inch thick and use a round cookie or biscuit cutter to cut out about 12 scones, reshaping the dough as needed and using scraps to form new rounds of dough. Alternately, you can cut it into hearts, triangles, or other shapes.
- For best texture and highest rise, place the pan of scones in the freezer for 15-30 minutes, uncovered before baking.
- Fully preheat the oven before baking the scones.

- In a separate small bowl, whisk with a fork the Oregon Chai Tea Latte Concentrate, ¼ cup heavy cream, pure pumpkin, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Create a small well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the well and stir with a fork until the dough comes together.
- Roll dough out into a 3/4-inch-thick round. Cut into 8 wedges, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- For best texture and highest rise, place the pan of scones in the freezer for 15-30 minutes, uncovered.
- Brush the scones with heavy cream and bake for about 18 to 20 minutes or until risen, set in the centers and slightly golden on the bottoms.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool down completely on a wire rack.
- When the scones are cool, spoon the glaze on each scone before drizzling with Chai Spiced Glaze. Let the glaze set before serving.
Make ahead tip: After you freeze the unbaked scones 30 minutes in the freezer and they are frozen solid, place them in a Ziploc plastic bag. Return to the freezer, and store for up to a month. Bake as directed (without thawing), adding a couple of extra minutes if needed.
Storing: Place cooled scones in a Ziploc plastic bag and store at room temperature for up to several days. You can also wrap them in plastic if you prefer.
Reheating: To reheat room-temperature scones, place on a baking sheet, tent lightly with foil, and warm in a preheated 350°F oven for about 10 minutes.
Freezing: you can store baked scones in the freezer up to one month. Wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer Ziploc plastic bag. To defrost them, put in a low oven (about 325º F /160º C) for a few minutes to refresh.
