One of my fav bakery treats is a buttery oat-y maple-y scone with a THICK maple icing from Forge bakery is Cambridge MA.

We do live a 20-30 min drive from it, and when I crave one in the morning, I’m not about to drive an hour to get it. Especially because I don’t drive.

So here’s my version made completely from scratch at home with simple plant-based ingredients. I argue that the combo of coconut oil and maple with a touch of salt tastes just like butter and I’ll die on that hill.

This single-serving recipe is as low commitment as it gets. Try it for yourself and let me know!

PS. In case you’re ready to commit a little more, try these mini-batch of mini scones, they’re also super good and hit the same spot!

Ingredients

1 tsp coconut oil, melted (5 g) sub any other oil or melted (plant) butter
2 tsp (nut) milk (10 g) I used unsweetened almond milk
1/2 tbsp maple syrup (10 g)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp flour (21 g) gf all purpose if desired
2 tbsp oats (10 g) rolled or quick oats
1/4 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 tbsp (optional) pecans, chopped (7 g) sub other nuts or raisins

Maple glaze

1 tbsp powder sugar (7 g)
1 tsp maple syrup (7 g)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
In a small bowl add oil, maple, vanilla, warm gently in the microwave 10 sec or so and stir until blended.
Add flour, oats, baking powder, salt and mix to get a crumbly "shaggy" dough. Your dough should stick together but not be wet. If it's too dry add a drop of water. Stir in the nuts if using.
Turn dough over on the parchment and press gently into a disk. Shape into a scone-triangle.
Bake 25 minutes or until slightly golden, let your scone cool completely.
Stir together the glaze and spread over the cooled scones. Refrigerate to set. Enjoy!
