Maple Oat Scones

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, quick oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add in whole milk (or half and half/heavy cream), pure maple syrup, egg, maple extract, and vanilla extract. Stir just until dough begins to form.

Step 4

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, and gently knead 5-6 times until dough comes together.

Step 5

Gently pat into a 7 to 8 inch circle. Cut into 8 pieces, and place on prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until edges just start to turn golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

Step 7

Prepare glaze while scones are cooling. Stir together confectioner's sugar, half and half/heavy cream, and maple extract until smooth. Drizzle over cooled scones.

Step 8

Allow glaze to harden and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
