I live for a scone. I’ve been obsessed ever since my first trip to England 20+ years ago when my mom, dad, sister and I would eat them for breakfast and afternoon tea. These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Scones are the perfect treat when that afternoon sweet tooth hits, or the perfect way to kick off a leisurely fall themed brunch.

These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Scones couldn’t be easier too. Everything is prepped in 1 bowl, cut into wedges and then baked. You can prep them ahead and wait to bake until right before you’re ready to serve. You can also make these well ahead of time and store them in the freezer. Just pop them in a toaster oven or microwave to re-heat for a bit before serving.

One quick note – below in the recipe you’ll see I call for grated butter and you’re probably thinking… “Grated Butter.” Yes, break out that box grater and make sure you have SUPER cold butter and grate it into the mixture. That way there will be little bits of butter scattered throughout the entire dough. It’s easier and actually faster than cutting the butter into small cubes. Okay!! Let’s go!

Need even more pumpkin inspiration to get you through these fall months – I have you 10000% covered:
