Maple Nut Oat Scones

Kara, from Creations by Kara is here today, sharing this YUMMY recipe! 

Loaded with hearty oats and pecans, then drizzled with a tasty maple glaze, these maple nut oat scones are sure to make any morning a little sweeter!

I already have several awesome recipes for scones, but I love trying out new flavor variations. I am a big fan of scones with fruit and nuts, but my kiddos prefer a more plain scone. I like to pack them with a little nutrition, so this version is filled with fiber from whole wheat, oats, and nuts. My kids were none the wiser, and gobbled them up just as fast as a plate of doughnuts. Score!

These scones have a nice sweet flavor from the brown sugar, and they are good just on their own. But of course the maple glaze on top makes them extra special!

I actually ended up having some glaze left over, but you can slather it on if you prefer.

If you’ve never had a homemade scone before, you are really missing out! They are amazing warm from the oven, but leftovers can be re-heated in the microwave for a few seconds. They are a perfect on the go breakfast or snack.

Go on, give ’em a try. I bet you’ll like them!
