Imagine a slightly sweet biscuit lost somewhere between a scone and a coconut macaroon. That's exactly what you'll have on your hands if you make these Pumpkin MacScoons! Delicious, soft, crumbly with a slight pumpkin and coconut flavor. Not too sweet and to die for with a little virgin coconut oil or vegan butter smeared on top. High Tea just went gluten-free and off the beaten path.

These scones seem like something a Jamaican restaurant in England might serve to ease the locals into tropical flavors. They would make a perfect afternoon or morning tea cookie for those Brits out there who like to snack on sweets or scones with their cuppa.

My intention with these biscuits was to make pumpkin flavored vegan coconut macaroons. In a way I was successful but the texture is really much closer to a scone or light biscuit and they are far less sweet, hence my new buzzword -- the MacScoon! Amazingly there is no flour at all in these little biscuits. They are gluten-free, paleo and vegan too! They are also naturally sweetened, high in fiber and sneak in a few healthy superfoods for good measure. They are not very sweet, in fact I ate a few of them hot from the oven and smeared with a little virgin coconut oil alongside my homemade pumpkin soup as part of my dinner, lovely.

Though these little biscuits were totally different than what I was aiming for, sometimes accidents produce something unusual but just as delightful as the norm.
