  • Total Time: 30-33 minutes
  • Yield: 8 scones 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cold butter (or coconut oil for vegan variant), cut into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk (use plant-based milk for vegan option)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend), baking powder, brown sugar, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
  2. Cut in the Butter: Using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingertips, work the cold butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This will help create flaky layers in your scones.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk or buttermilk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and fragrant.
  4. Form the Dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture just until combined, being careful not to overmix to avoid tough scones.
  5. Shape and Cut: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Place the scone wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and fragrant.

Notes

  • Keep all ingredients cold, especially the butter, for the best flaky scones.
  • Do not overmix the dough to maintain a tender crumb.
  • Use fresh baking powder for optimal rise and light texture.
  • For a glossy finish and extra sweetness, brush the tops with maple syrup immediately after baking.
  • The dough can be refrigerated overnight to develop flavor and simplify morning preparation.
