A Delicious Maple Pecan Scone Recipe!

We all need dessert for breakfast once in a while, right? Scones are great for a special occasion breakfast or brunch, and they make for a great weekend treat. I love scones but they need to be made the right way.

I've had too many dry, lifeless scones from bakeries that definitely weren't worth paying for. These are perfectly soft, tender and moist and you'll love the maple, oat and pecan flavor combination. They are a perfect fall scone and trust me, they are hard to resist!

Tip - Serve Warm for Ultimate Deliciousness

In my opinion these are best served when they are still a bit warm. They melt in your mouth at that point. Yes, they are definitely still good once they cool off completely, but just like many other baked goods they are amazing when eaten warm.

I love how hearty these scones are with their addition of oats and nuts, which you don't find in a plain scone. I also like that they have some sweetness to them. I don't like a scone that only has a few tablespoons of sugar, I might as well just eat a good biscuit slathered with butter instead.

Though this recipe requires a few extra steps like freezing and grating the butter and grinding the oats, the end result is well worth it. Once you're biting into one of these you'll realize those few extra steps were worth it. These scones are dreamy.

I am so happy to announce that I will be partnering with Fisher nuts over the next year to bring you many delicious recipes, all made with Fisher nuts. I chose to work with Fisher nuts because it is the only brand of recipe nuts entirely without preservatives.

Scone

10 Tbsp unsalted butter, (frozen for 30 minutes)
3/4 cup (75g) quick oats
1 3/4 cups (248g) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (55g) packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup (55g) granulated sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup (105g) chopped Fishers pecans, (divided)
1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp (150ml) heavy cream, (divided)
1 large egg
1 tsp maple extract
3/4 tsp vanilla extract

Glaze

1 cup (130g) powdered sugar
1 Tbsp heavy cream, (then more as needed)
1 Tbsp milk
1 1/2 tsp maple extract, (or more to taste)

For the scones: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner. In a food processor, pulse oats until ground into a flour, about 1 - 2 minutes.
Pour oats into a large mixing bowl along with flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk well to combine while breaking up clumps of brown sugar.
In a small mixing bowl whisk together 1/2 cup of the heavy cream, the egg, maple extract and vanilla extract. Grate butter on the small holes of a box grater and add to flour mixture (use a butter knife to scrape any excess from grater).
Cut butter into flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles a coarse meal. Stir in 2/3 cup of the pecans.
Pour cream mixture into flour mixture and toss with a rubber spatula until evenly moistened and it starts to come together in large clumps, then gently knead mixture in bowl by hand several times until it comes together.
Pour into a lightly floured surface and gently pat and shape into a 8 1/2-inch round. Cut into 8 equal wedges. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and brush tops with remaining 1 Tbsp heavy cream.
Bake in preheated oven until golden, about 13 - 15 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack slightly then spoon and spread glaze over scones and sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup pecans. Allow glaze to set at room temperature, store in an airtight container once cool.
For the glaze: Whisk together all glaze ingredients in a small mixing until well combined. Thin with additional cream as needed, 1 tsp at a time.

Maple Pecan Granola

Jaclyn — Sat, 17 Jan 2015 18:27:19 +0000

If you haven't started making your own granola yet there's no better time than now! Homemade granola is my favorite and it really is so easy to make. And when you make it at home you get it to choose exactly what goes into it.

This recipe is probably my favorite granola recipe to date. And the smell that fills your home while it's baking is simply dreamy. Plus I get to smell it again ever time I open up the mason jar I've stored it away in. You might just find me tucked away in my pantry sniffing away at my mason jar :).

My favorite way to eat this perfectly crisp granola is with strawberry or blueberry Greek yogurt but you can definitely just eat plain (it's the perfect thing to have on hand when you get those afternoon munchies) or can serve it up in a bowl with milk (my personal preference is almond milk). And if you want to get fancy, make layered breakfast parfaits with fresh fruit!

Maple Apple Bars - A truly delightful dessert is formed when the flavors of a apple spice cake meet the exciting flavors of a maple glazed doughnut. These are scrape the pan clean good!

They are perfectly moist, generously spiced, loaded with fresh fruit, then smothered with silky maple cream cheese glaze. This bar is Heaven! I'm pretty certain that if I hadn't restrained myself with some self control then I easily could have finished the entire jelly roll pan myself, yeah just that good =).

My husband ate them and said mmmm this is like a healthier maple bar. I'd have to agree, they tastes similar, but in my opinion these are better and healthier. Spices and fresh fruit make everything better! Got some extra apples lounging around just waiting for the perfect use? Then you must give these a try!
