Carrot Cake Scones
I have been planning on making carrot cake scones for some time now. Since Easter is next week,I figured no time like now to give them a try.
I ‘d love if the Easter Bunny delivered these in my Easter basket every year.
I’ve mentioned it before, but I will mention it again. The key to scones is ICE COLD BUTTER
- 2 cups flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½cup (cold) butter
- ½ cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup grated carrots (3 medium carrots)
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk, extract, cinnamon along with eggs, mix until blended, then stir in carrots and nuts. Knead on a floured surface, cut with cookie cutter to desired shape.
- Bake at 450 for 8-10 minutes.
I’ve loved carrot cake for as long as I can remember and you do know how much I love scones, right?
I have a whole category of them on my recipe index.
Iit was really only a matter if time for me to combine the love!
Icing:
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon corn syrup
3 tablespoons water
gel food coloring (orange, green) Americolor
Mix all ingredients until smooth and pipe or drizzle on cooled scones
I made plenty, maybe I will leave one out for the Easter Bunny.

These are very cute! But the recipe for the icing is showing in numbered steps without the actual measurements…
Looking forward to making these
Sorry about that I will adjust the icing portion
Thanks for Sharing! I’ll be making these for Easter Brunch! Love the icing:)
Great idea for the flavor of the scones. And the icing is the perfect finish. My mom would love these. Carrot Cake is her favorite!
Such a yummy scones

Yep, you’re still the reigning scone QUEEN! They look so cute!
Love these flavors for scones. And you outdid yourself on the decorations. Love it!
Your web design has changed in the last day or so. I really like it. Carrot cake scones – perfect!!
so cute! I love scones and anything with carrot cake!
Delicious! From all the scones you have shared with us I would have thought that you had a separate recipe box just for them
You hooked me with the title and then I saw these adorable scones and I squealed with joy!
I want some in my Easter basket! These are so cool, and I don’t think I have ever seen carrot cake scones, but I love the sound of them

OMG- these are so cute and perfect for Easter brunch, Diane!
What a fun recipe!!
So fun!
These are adorable!
love how you glazed them as carrots, so creative!
These look wonderful! I want to try them with sour cream icing. Do you have a good recipe for some?
I don’t but as I was icing them, I thought about how good cream cheese frosting would be on them too.
Oops! That is what I meant to say, “cream” cheese!
I love a slice of fresh warm pumpkin bread with a slice of plain cream cheese on it.
oh yes, cream cheese frosting:
1/2 cup butter
1.2 cup cream cheese
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Perfect. Thanks so much!
You are so creative. I am sure I could bake them even once Easter is over, right? I would call them Spring scones hehe.
Thanks and of course they will be good anytime!
Made these for Easter yesterday and used a cream cheese icing to drizzle over top…..DELICIOUS!!! However, I have 2 issues with the recipe: the directions say “extracts” but only vanilla is listed in the ingredients, is there one missing or just an added “s”? It also doesn’t say when to add the carrots! I put them in last and they seemed fine, but just wondered if there was a better time because it made my dough turn to batter when I did. Thanks!
sorry about that, the “s” was a mistake and yes I added the carrots at the end. I just adjusted the recipe to reflect it. I was typing the recipe on my ipad while out of town and the layout on it isn’t the same as my computer, so I do find I make more mistakes. Hope you had a wonderful Easter!
These scones are so cute. The recipe looks scrumptious too!
I’m a bit late, but I gotta say, wow!!!
One question if anybody can help me……unfortunately my oven is out, and I only have a convection oven to use at the moment. Will they cook faster in the convection oven…should I reduce the temp? My mother’s birthday is coming up the big 6-0 and I’d love to make these for her.
although I don’t have a convection oven, I do know it cooks faster. I would place 1 scone on a tray and test the time so you don’t dry out the whole batch
Just made these and theyre yummy. Thanks
