58 Reviews of Maple Oat Nut Scones - Starbucks

I made a few slight changes and they turned out excellent! I've forever been searching for a Starbuck's maple oat scone recipe that comes close because I'm addicted to the original...and these come about as close as you can get! I used good maple syrup instead of water in the glaze (ended up using at least 1/4 cup with an unsifted 1 1/2 cups powd sugar) and made sure the scones were cool when I glazed them so the glaze stayed thick on top (killed me to wait!). I actually think they're better cool after they've sat for a little while. I also substituted 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour for 1/2 cup of the regular, upped the pecans to 1 cup and added a couple tbs more cream as they were not quite as moist as I would like. I also used a food processor up till adding the pecans (just pulsed the mixture to blend in ingredients then kneaded the pecans in lightly by hand). I've made them 3 times already trying to perfect the recipe and because they are SO GOOD!!!

I made these for my Dad, who grew up in Vermont & loves anything with maple. I used quick oats, so I didn't process them since they're pretty well broken up anyway. Once the scones were cut & on the parchment-lined cookie sheet, I brushed them with some half-and-half, and sprinkled them with granulated maple sugar. After they cooled I drizzled them with the glaze too. They smelled so good that I just had to try one for "quality control" =) before I gave them away — it was awesome, and I know I will be making them again & again. Thanks for posting! -M

These are wonderful - just perfect with a cup of coffee. I made them with my food processor up to the point where I had to add the liquid and nuts. Even though I followed your measurements, the dough was a little dry so I added about 1/4 cup milk, after which it worked out really well. I like the maple glaze - something you wouldn't normally have on a scone!

I have never experienced a 'Starbucks' maple oat nut scone before... but this copycat recipe was awesome!!! I don't really know how much better the 'real' thing could get! I did not have any maple extract on hand, so I substituted some homemade vanilla extract. I also used walnuts in addition to the pecans becauses I was running a little short. For the glaze, again, I substituted the vanilla for maple extract, and also used a high quality maple syrup for the water. I did add just a little bit of water at the end to make it creamy and spreadable. The texture was wonderful and they were great with my coffee in the morning...not too sweet, but really hit the spot!!!

Delicious!! My husband and I love the maple oat scones at Starbucks, and these are even better. I am thrilled to finally be able to make these at home!! I made these in the food processor instead of the mixer and they went together very quickly. Thank you Charmie for this keeper recipe. I will definitely be making these often.

I am a lover of all things maple - and these scones are a perfect treat. I used steel cut oats whole and like that texture. The recipe went together easily, and I will definitely make these again. The only change I made was to use half and half for the glaze Thanks !

These came together so easily and quickly and were gone just as fast. A real treat to impress company with! Not too sweet, and you can always skip the icing (or put more on). O, and I didn't put the oats in the blender, the texture of whole oats was a must and worked seamlessly.

Having never had these at Starbuck's I have no basis for comparison and see no reason to start now. These were super easy (I went food processor all the way)& tasted WONDERFUL! We had them for breakfast & I've nibbled on them all day. Thanks for posting this recipe!

I have never had these at Starbucks and now don't have to cause I can make them myself. I followed the recipe using the mid range of maple extract. Also, I used some maple syrup in the glaze in place of some of the water. These are lightly sweet and went great with a breakfast of eggs and fresh fruit.
