Nothing says fall quite like pumpkin-flavored-everything! These AIP Pumpkin Scones are perfectly moist and luscious topped with a simple caramel glaze. Pair them with a hot cup of tea or AIP coffee substitute (read more about your options here) for a perfect fall morning.make the perfect accompaniment to your morning routine or a snack on the go. 

These AIP Pumpkin Scones are moist and fluffy, yet crispy, crumbly and flaky at the same time. Tigernut flour and arrowroot starch help create a springy texture, similar to gluten-filled baked goods. The palm shortening makes an almost perfect swap for butter, helping to create the crumbly, flaky texture. And the pumpkin puree keeps the scones moist and fluffy. Be sure to read the tips below the recipe for best results.

Pumpkin Scones with Spiced Caramel Glaze

Yield: 8 scones
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

♥ RECIPE & IMAGES BY: Andrea - Formerly "Hurried Health Nut" ♥ Perfectly moist, yet crumbly these AIP Pumpkin Scones topped with a luscious caramel glaze are perfect for fall mornings.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  2. Measure out the palm shortening and place it in the freezer for about 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients
  3. Add all dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and give it a quick whisk to blend
  4. Then add the palm shortening and cut it in with a pastry cutter or a fork (a pastry cutter works significantly better). Cut until the palm shortening is in pieces about the size of peas
  5. Add the cold pumpkin puree, coconut milk and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix with a spatula until a very thick batter forms
  6. Turn the batter onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet
  7. Dust your hands with a little arrowroot starch and use them to form a disc about 1″ thick
  8. Use a large knife or pizza cutter to cut the disc into 8 equal triangles, dusting the knife with arrowroot in between each cut to prevent sticking
  9. Separate the triangles from each other to allow the edges of the scones to crisp as they cook (The further apart, the better, as the scones do spread a bit while baking, and you want to make sure the edges get crisp)
  10. Bake at 400ºF for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown
  11. The scones will still be fairly soft to the touch, but should have some toasted edges
  12. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes, to set
  13. While the scones cool, mix the ingredients for the Spiced Caramel Glaze in a small bowl and drizzle or spread over the cooled scones. Enjoy!

Store unglazed scones in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Reheat in the oven, toaster oven or air fryer and then drizzle with glaze.

Notes

  • Work with cold ingredients. My palm shortening was at room temperature, but I measured it out first and placed it in the freezer while I prepared the rest of the ingredients. It was in the freezer for a total of about 10 minutes. I placed my canned pumpkin puree and coconut milk in the fridge the night before I made these scones. Working with cold ingredients helps the dough hold its shape and helps give the scones that classic scone texture.
  • Don’t overwork the dough. The more you knead it, the tougher it gets, and you don’t want tough scones. Overworking the dough also warms it up and melts the palm shortening, which you don’t want, for the reasons listed above. You want to mix the ingredients until just combined, not perfectly blended.
  • Let the scones cool at least 15 minutes, to give them time to “set.” When they first come out of the oven, they will be squishy and very moist – more like a crumbly cake than a scone. Giving them a bit of time to set will help give them that classic scone texture. Trust me, it’s worth the wait.

    Food Value of 1/2 Cup of Pumpkin Puree

    Did You Know Pumpkin is a Superfood?

    It’s actually one of the healthiest vegetables you can eat! Pumpkin is a powerhouse food that is low in calories and high in many health-promoting phytochemicals.

    It provides a healthy dose of fiber, which is proven in supporting digestive health, regulating blood sugar and reducing the risk of heart disease!

    Pumpkin is packed with nutrients like beta-carotene, which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties.

    It can do your immune system some serious good because of the high levels of vitamin A – an antioxidant that helps fight off disease-causing free radicals in the body by preventing damage to cells involved in the immune response.

    Annnd, because pumpkin has a high water volume, it helps you feel full and satiated, as well.

    Instructions

    1. Preheat large skillet over medium heat

    There are so many great things about salmon. First, it’s one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet! One 3 oz serving of salmon contains 17 g protein, just under 2,000mg omega-3 fatty acids, and 45% of your RDA for vitamin B12. It is also rich in several minerals including potassium, selenium, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc.

    On an anti-inflammatory diet like the AIP, you should aim to eat seafood (including salmon) about three times per week. (Want to know more about seafood on the AIP and whether you need to prioritize wild-caught vs. farmed or if there are any concerns about mercury and more? Check out this informative post.)

    Second on the list of the many great things about salmon is how quickly it cooks! This whole recipe only takes about 15 minutes from start to finish, so it is a fantastic weeknight recipe.

    TIP: If you can’t find additive-free coconut yogurt (most of them contain nasty gums and emulsifiers), you can make it yourself with one of these easy DIY Coconut Yogurt recipes – Countertop Coconut Yogurt or Instant Pot Coconut Yogurt. If you’re sensitive to coconut, you could try this recipe for Tigernut Yogurt from Eat Beautiful.

    15-Minute Grilled Salmon & Asparagus with Cilantro-Lime Sauce

    Yield: 4 servings
    Prep Time: 5 minutes
    Cook Time: 10 minutes
    Total Time: 5 minutes

    ♥ RECIPE & IMAGES BY: Andrea - Formerly "Hurried Health Nut" ♥ This summery grilled salmon and asparagus recipe is so simple, but the zesty cilantro-lime sauce will make you feel like a culinary artist!

    Ingredients

    Cilantro-Lime Sauce:

    • 1/2 cup - lightly packed cilantro leaves and tender stems
    • 3/4 cup - additive-free coconut milk yogurt (Try one of the homemade AIP coconut yogurt recipes linked above)
    • 1 Tbsp - fresh-squeezed lime juice (about 1/4 of a lime)
    • 1/4 tsp - honey
    • 1/4 tsp - sea salt

    For the Salmon and Asparagus:

    • 4 - salmon filets (3-4oz each)
    • 2 lbs asparagus spears
    • drizzle of avocado oil
    • pinch of sea salt

    Instructions

    1. Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350-400ºF)
    2. Throw all the ingredients for the Cilantro-Lime Sauce into a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside
    3. Wash and trim the asparagus.
    4. Blot the salmon dry with a paper towel.
    5. Brush both sides of the salmon and the asparagus with a little avocado oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Transfer to the preheated grill and close the lid.
    6. Cook the salmon about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it lightens in color and becomes more opaque. It is done when it flakes easily with a fork or a meat thermometer reads about 130ºF when inserted into the thickest part of the filet
    7. Flip the asparagus at the same time as you flip the salmon. The asparagus will take about 6-10 minutes to cook, depending on how thick the asparagus spears are
    8. Remove salmon and asparagus from the grill and let rest 1-2 minutes
    9. Serve grilled salmon and asparagus with a drizzle of the Cilantro-Lime Sauce.

    Notes

    Leftovers can be saved in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Enjoy your leftovers cold with an extra drizzle of Cilantro-Lime Sauce. It’s super tasty and refreshing on a hot summer day!

    Leftover Cilantro-Lime Sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. Use the extra sauce on grilled chicken, shrimp, vegetables, or as a salad dressing.

After 30 minutes of marinating time, this grilled salmon is ready in under 10 minutes. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.

    Ingredients

    • 2 Tbsp - extra virgin olive oil
    • 2 Tbsp - fresh-squeezed lemon juice (from about 1/2 a small lemon)
    • 1/8 tsp - sea salt
    • 1/8 tsp - garlic powder
    • 1/8 tsp - onion powder
    • 1/4 tsp - ground turmeric

    1. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder and ground turmeric to a pint size mason jar or dressing bottle and shake vigorously until well combined.
    2. Place salmon fillets in a glass dish and pour the marinade over the top. Marinate in the fridge no longer than 30-60 minutes.
    3. Remove from the fridge and bring to room temperature, about 10 minutes before grilling.
    4. Preheat your grill to medium (about 350ºF). Once heated, gently place the marinated salmon fillets to the grill and close the lid. Discard any leftover marinade
    5. Grill the salmon, with the lid closed, for 3-4 minutes, or until it begins to lighten in color and is firm to the touch
    6. Flip and grill another 2-4 minutes, or until salmon reaches 130ºF and flakes easily with a fork. Thicker fillets may require longer cooking times
    7. Remove and rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.

    Notes

    Salmon is best served fresh, however, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It's delicious served cold atop a salad or leftover grilled veggies! If you're planning for leftovers, make extra marinade and keep it aside to be drizzled over your left overs (IMPORTANT: never use leftover marinade drained from raw meet - it should be discarded - you don’t want food poisoning!)

    TIP: This Lemon Turmeric Marinade can be used as a salad dressing!

    This “Grated Parmesan” recipe is not only Paleo and Vegan, it’s also nut-free and AIP friendly! You’re just 4 ingredients and 5 minutes away from dairy-free, delicious cheesy goodness!

    One of the problems many people have with following an Auto Immune Protocol (AIP) diet, is that they run out of ideas for ways to “spice” up their meals. We miss those traditional flavors and want something that is easy to prepare that has that extra zing our tastebuds are missing.

    Nutritional yeast is savory and has a cheesy flavor. Paired with TigerNuts (more about them below), we achieve that familiar flavor and texture of grated parmesan! (IMPORTANT NOTE:  On the AIP we need to ensure we’re using NON-fortified nutritional yeast – click here to read why that’s important and where to buy.)

    What Are TigerNuts

    If you’re just getting started on the AIP and you haven’t heard of TigerNuts, I’m sure you’ll be running across recipes soon that call for one iteration of them or another.

    TigerNuts flour was one of the first ingredients I decided to try when I started my personal AIP journey, and I have to say they’re probably one of my favorite AIP dietary discoveries. You’ll find lots of recipes posted in my AIP Recipe Collection Facebook Group that calls for them, and I think the flour makes some of the best AIP cookies  – especially when it comes to taste, texture and crunch! 

    Before we go any further, you should know that they’re not nuts at all, they’re actually tubers, so they’re 100% AIP elimination stage compliant! Woohoo! (You can learn more about them in my post about unfamiliar foods you’ll run into on your AIP journey, and on my affiliate’s website – TigerNuts USA)

    15-Minute Savory Irish (Sweet) Potato Cakes

    Yield: 6 servings
    Prep Time: 5 minutes
    Cook Time: 10 minutes
    Total Time: 15 minutes

    ♥ RECIPE & IMAGES BY: Andrea - Formerly "Hurried Health Nut" ♥ Savory and crispy outside, with a luscious, creamy center - perfect for breakfast, sides or snacks!

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups - mashed white sweet potatoes (pre-made*)
    • 1/4 cup - cassava flour
    • 1/2 tsp - onion powder
    • 1/2 tsp - dried chives (optional)
    • 1/4 tsp - sea salt

    Instructions

    1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
    2. Divide into 6 balls (use your hands or a cookie scoop).
    3. Add a good drizzle of avocado oil or coconut oil to a large skillet, and warm over medium heat.
    4. Once the pan is hot and oil is glistening, add the sweet potato cake balls directly to the pan and squish them down a bit to form a patty.
    5. Cook 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
    6. Serve & Enjoy!
  • Serve with sautéed cabbage and bacon for an AIP Irish breakfast!
  • Save these AIP Irish Potato Cakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days (depending on when your mashed potatoes were originally cooked – reheating does not reset the clock on food!)
  • Notes

    You may need to cook these in two batches, depending on how large your skillet is. I fit all 6 patties in a 12″ skillet , no problem.

    If you do need to cook in batches, be sure to add oil to the pan in between batches and allow it to heat up again. * These potato cakes are pretty sticky and will stick to the pan if there isn’t enough oil. *

    To reheat, warm a skillet over medium-low, add a small drizzle of oil and heat the potato cakes through for just a few minutes, until warm

    * If you don’t have any pre-made mashed sweet potatoes, just peel and chop a few white sweet potatoes, cover with water in a saucepan and boil for a few minutes, until potato chunks are easily pierced with a fork. Drain and mash, adding a bit of sea salt and coconut milk for flavoring and creaminess.
