Maple Oat Nut Scones

These scones are a perfect pair to your morning or afternoon coffee. They are reminiscent of the ones you may find at your local (chain) coffee shop, but more tender, more flavor and a cinch to make. A wonderful treat to share with friends and family!

Ingredients

Scones

  • cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¾ cup cold unsalted butter, diced
  • ½ cup cold heavy cream
  • ½ cup maple syrup

Glaze

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 5 tbsp whole milk
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted or whisked free of lumps

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine oats, nuts, both flours, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Add cold butter and rub with fingertips until butter is coated with flour and the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • In a measuring cup, combine heavy cream and maple syrup and add to flour mixture. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, fold mixture just until dough comes together.
  • Dump the dough on a lightly floured board and gently knead a few times. Using floured hands, shape into a circle, about 8 inches in diameter. Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut dough into 8 wedges. Transfer wedges to a baking sheet and bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Cool on a baking rack while you prepare the glaze.

Glaze

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, milk and butter. Heat to a gentle boil, whisking constantly for 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add vanilla, salt and powdered sugar and whisk until smooth.
  • While glaze is still warm, drizzle over scones. Sprinkle with additional chopped nuts, if desired.
