3. Prepare Sweet Potato Mixture: In a large bowl, mash the sweet potatoes with the oil and sugar until well combined.

4. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin seeds until evenly distributed.

5. Combine Ingredients: Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the sweet potato mixture, stirring until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix, as it can lead to tough scones.

6. Roll Out Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll it out until it’s about 1/2-inch thick.

7. Cut Scones: Using a 2-inch cutter, cut the dough into rounds and place them on the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between each scone for expansion.

8. Bake: Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.

9. Serve: Once baked, remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These sweet potato scones are best enjoyed warm with a spread of butter or jam.

10. Enjoy: Serve these delightful sweet potato scones for breakfast, brunch, or as a delicious snack any time of the day! They’re perfect for sharing with family and friends.

Notes:

• Variations: Feel free to customize these scones by adding your favorite spices or nuts to the dough for extra flavor and texture.
• Storage: These scones can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage. Simply reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
• Tip: For a vegan-friendly option, you can substitute the butter with coconut oil or a plant-based spread.
