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.
