Can I use leftover pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree
100 Days Admin says
We wouldn't recommend it. By using puree, you are controlling the amount of sugar and other spices in the recipe (as well as not adding refined sugar). By using the pumpkin pie filling, the end results could become way too sweet. - Nicole
Rosaria Wiseman says
Is there a substitute for the rolled oats? Not a big fan of them.
100 Days Admin says
Rosaria, unfortunately since these are oat scones, there isn't a substitute. You could try leaving them out but may need to adjust some other ingredients. Let us know if you try it out. - Nicole
Angela Pittman says
Wondering what I could use instead of heavy cream? Would an organic half and half work or will it not have enough fat to hold together?
Kristin says
I wonder the same thing too. I frequently have extra half and half that I need to use up.
Kristin says
Delicious! I ended up making a maple cinnamon glaze to boost the flavor. Next time, I might add a little more pumpkin pie spice. I can't wait to try them with leftover half and half.
Lisa says
Yes, half and half is a fine substitute! Good luck!
Rachel McDermott says
If I don't have a food processor, could I use a blender or stand mixer? What would you recommend? Thank you!
100 Days Admin says
Yes, either of those two would work fine.
Cheryl says

Can I freeze the prepared dough before baking?
Adrianna says
Do these freeze well?
100 Days Admin says
Yes, these should be fine, but they might not see the freezer since they are so good! :)

I have your cookbooks and use them and have always used whole wheat flour for baking. But I now I have a gluten intolerance and need to make things without while wheat flour. I’m disappointed because I don’t get that fiber and nutrition in whole wheat from gluten free flour. And buying gluten free bread has been discouraging as well - doesn’t taste good. Do you have any advice? I know you aren’t having to cook gluten free.
Lisa says
I am sorry to hear that! I think it can still taste good you just need to experiment with different brands and types of gluten-free flour replacements - they can still be whole grain. Same with the bread, maybe try a bakery nearby that makes their bread fresh (like Great Harvest)? If you find some quality options I bet you'll be more pleased. Good luck!

Thanks, these look yummy! Question - Your picture shows the scones on a rack on the baking sheet, but the directions don't reference that. Is that a best practice for baking scones?
Lisa says
I put them on the cooling rack to cool after baking then I just lifted it back onto the baking sheet for photo purposes only. :)
Katie says
Do you use store bought whole wheat or did you mill your own?
100 Days Admin says
I made these with store bought whole wheat.
Betsy says
Could you make these with oat flour to make them gluten free?
Lisa says
You could definitely try it - let me know how it turns out!
