Ingredients

For the Scones

  • 1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats see note
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick unsalted butter cut into 8 pieces
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla flavored) or sourdough starter discard
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup

For the glaze

  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Spread oats onto a baking sheet. Toast oats until fragrant and just lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Increase oven temperature to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add butter and pulse until the mixture resembles dry sand. Add the oats.
  • Whisk sourdough starter, milk and maple syrup together. Pour into food processor and pulse until a dough is formed, being careful not to over process.
  • Remove dough and place onto a work surface that is lightly floured or sprinkled with oats. Form the dough into a circle that is roughly 1" thick. Cut into wedges and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-16 minutes.

For the glaze

  • While the scones are baking, whisk the powdered sugar into maple syrup, adding more powdered sugar if needed to reach desired consistency. Allow the scones to cool for 5-10 minutes before glazing. Drizzle the glaze over the scones and top each scone with oats, if desired.

Notes

Don't try to use instant oats or steel cut oats here.
If you don't have sourdough starter, replace with sour cream or greek yogurt
