Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 cup Quick Cooking Oats
- 1/2 cup Chopped Pecans
- 1/2 cup White Chocolate Chips
- 1/3 cup Cold Butter
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1 Egg
- 1/3 cup Pure Maple Syrup
- 2 Tbsp Milk (for brushing)
- 1 tsp Granulated Sugar (for topping)
- 1 cup Powdered Confectioners Sugar (for glaze)
- 2 Tbsp Milk (for glaze)
- 1 tsp Maple Extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a cookie sheet.
- In a stand mixer, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, oats, pecans, and white chocolate chips.
- Cut the cold butter into small pieces and mix into the dry ingredients on low speed until crumbly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk, then add to the flour mixture along with maple syrup. Mix until a dough forms.
- Using a large scoop, place rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Do not flatten.
- Brush the tops and sides with 2 tablespoons of milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
- Bake for 13–15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and transfer scones to a cooling rack with wax paper underneath.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and maple extract until smooth.
- Drizzle glaze over the cooled scones and serve.
Notes
- Use quick oats for the best texture; rolled oats may result in a chewier scone.
- Freeze unbaked scones and bake from frozen with slightly longer baking time.
- Let scones cool before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
- Skip or reduce glaze for a less sweet version.
