Tender, buttery scones loaded with oats and chopped pecans, topped with a sweet maple glaze. A perfect companion for your morning coffee.

  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, frozen for 30 minutes
  • 3/4 cup quick oats
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, divided
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream, divided
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon maple extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream (for glaze)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons maple extract (for glaze)
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pulse oats in a food processor until ground into a flour, about 1 to 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Whisk together ground oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Grate frozen butter on a box grater directly into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter to work butter in until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in 2/3 cup of the chopped pecans.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup heavy cream, egg, maple extract, and vanilla extract. Pour into the flour mixture and toss with a spatula until large clumps form. Gently knead until dough comes together.

  5. 5

    Shape dough into an 8 1/2-inch round on a floured surface and cut into 8 wedges. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and brush tops with remaining 1 tablespoon heavy cream.

  6. 6

    Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until golden. Cool slightly on a wire rack.

  7. 7

    For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon cream, and 1 1/2 teaspoons maple extract until smooth. Drizzle over scones and sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup pecans.
