Oatmeal Walnut Scones with Maple Glaze

For Scones

1 1/2 cups rolled or quick oats

3/4 cups coarsely chopped walnuts

1/4 milk

1/4 cup cream

1.4 cup maple syrup

1 egg

1 1/2 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

10 Tbs cold butter, diced

For Glaze

3 Tbs maple syrup

1/2 cup powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spread oats and walnuts out onto a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 8 minutes, or until visibly browned. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Increase oven to 450 degrees F.

In a small mixing bowl whisk together milk, cream, syrup and egg. Put flour, baking powder, and salt in the workbowl of a food processor and mix just enough to mix up the dry ingredients evenly. Add butter to food processor and mix until the consistency reaches that of coarse sand. Transfer the mixture into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add in room temperature oats and walnuts. Fold in wet ingredients. Gently mix and knead to evenly incorporate all ingredients. Turn out onto lightly floured surface, and form desired scone shapes. Place scones on greased baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes.

Once finished scones cool, whisk together maple syrup and powdered sugar and dizzle over scones. Let set for a minutes or so before serving.
