Maple Oat Pecan Scones
A homemade copycat version of Starbucks' maple oat nut scones. This is a delicious treat that combines that sweet maple syrup with nutty rolled oats and pecans. These maple oat pecan scones are excellent paired with coffee, tea, or warm milk.
Servings: 10 scones
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (260 g)
- 1 cup rolled oats, (90 g) finely ground in food processor
- 4 Tablespoons maple syrup (or granulated sugar)
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (226 g) cut into tablespoons, cold
- 1 cup heavy cream, (227 g) chilled
- ½ cup pecans, (60 g) lightly toasted, roughly chopped
- heavy cream, to brush tops
- turbinado sugar, as needed to sprinkle
Maple Glaze:
- 1 ½ cup confectioners' sugar, (170 g) sifted
- ¼ cup whole milk (57 g)
- ½ teaspoon maple extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, oat flour, maple sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut cold butter into dry mixture using a pastry blender, fork, or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse sand.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients. Add cream. Fold until almost combined. Add chopped pecans and mix until incorporated and all the dry has been hydrated. The dough will be a little sticky.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat into a circle abound 1 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut into 10 equal pieces. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Brush tops of scones with heavy cream and sprinkle generously with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until slightly golden brown. Let cool on baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled or at room temperature, proceed with maple glaze.
Maple Glaze:
- Whisk all ingredients together in a medium bowl until smooth. Drizzle over cooled scones and let sit until glaze has set.
Notes
Cool scones before adding glaze. These are best enjoyed within three days of baking and glazing. Store in a covered container at room temperature away from heat and direct sunlight.
