Once more, I am forced to say... 'I'm sorry' and... 'you're welcome' in the same sentence.

Who says 'you can't have your cake and eat it too?' Not this girl.

If you haven't noticed yet... I am all  about sweets and treats. Eatings skinny and healthy doesn't mean things can't be fun or enjoyed!

Any frequenter to Starbucks will most likely tell you that one of their fall favorites there is the infamous Pumpkin Scone, and naturally the Pumpkin Spice Latte.

However, as you can see... with a whopping 450 calories in one scone... hah. No, thank you - I say.

No. Thank. You. 

Over the weeks I've had more than one request for this recipe to be reworked into a skinny version. So, I've done my best here to trim things down and healthify the beast that is the Pumpkin Scone.

I've swapped flour for whole wheat white flour, halved the sugar and halved the icing glaze.  You just don't need  all of that sugary coating on top.

Oh, by the way... did I mention that you can have not one... but TWO scones for right at 300 calories?

And please, don't be intimidated by the ingredient list. A great deal of it is merely spices. Don't have all of them? Swap each for the equal amount of pumpkin pie spice instead!
