The first ever piece of food item I ate at Starbucks was a Maple Oat Scone. It was triangle in shape and I ate it along with a venti Raspberry Chip Frappuccino. Having this with a cup of coffee at home while sitting in front of my laptop kind of brings back that memory of my young self who doesn’t know how to bake yet. Hmmnn…
It was love at first bite. And it was a start of a love affair.
I made sure I drop by Starbucks each and every time I see a store just to get a hold of my Maple Oat Scone. Each day was a happy day because of it.
This piece of bread never failed to make me smile.
The affair lasted several months. Maple Oat Scone was a seasonal food item and the time has come for it to be replaced with a new set.
I was heartbroken.
But I still craved for Maple Oat Scones. Months after, I still dropped by Starbucks hoping to see my favorite scones inside the pastry case but to no avail.
Then I became a Starbucks barista and my longing for it was forgotten…. I met some other pastries like chocolate croissant, chocolate dome cake, and oreo cheesecake. They were equally good company especially on bad days.
Oh, and I also met my peanutbutter♥.
Seeeeee! Maple Oat Scone has that special place in my heart. But enough with reminiscing. I am feeling ecstatic!
My peanutbutter♥ is coming home! Yay! and he’s staying here for good!
I am in a panic mode, though. I don’t think I could clean out the house and our room which kinda looks like a war zone right now.
Everything is just a big blur to me: the house construction, school opening on monday, that mountain of laundry, and that other mountain of clothes that needed folding and ironing, those car scratches that needs to disappear right now — and all the recipes I’m itching to try. I am hopeless.
I actually don’t know where to start. All I did to calm down is bake these Maple Oat Scones and eat them.
Now that they are all gone I’m back in panic mode!
Did I tell you peanutbutter♥ is coming home in seven days?!
Maple Oat Scones
Ingredients
for the scones
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/3 cup low fat milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 egg, beaten
for the maple glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk in all purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. I used my new Gir Spatula instead of a whisk and it did just as well.
- Break your cold butter into sliced and toss into the mixture.
- Use your hands to combine it with the flour mixture and put it in the fridge for a few minutes.
- Combine the beaten egg and the low fat milk.
- Remove the flour mixture from the fridge and create a well in the center.
- Pour in egg and milk mixture plus the maple syrup.
- Fold with a spatula until well combined. The dough would be very sticky.
- Lightly flour a work surface and dump the sticky dough mixture out onto the counter.
- Pat into a circle 1 1/2 inch thick. Use a round biscuit cutter or, in my case, the mouth of a glass to cut into 10 equal pieces. Make sure to flour the mouth of your glass from time to time to keep the dough from sticking.
- Place scones, about 1 inch apart, on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 18 minutes at 400ºF.
- Let cool on baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled or at room temperature, proceed with maple glaze.
- To make the glaze, just combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Drizzle on top each scone and let it sit until set.
I didn’t use a wire whisk in mixing the ingredients for this scones, I used this GIR Spatula that is rockin’ my baking world as of the moment. It is thick and gets your work done just like your regular spatula. It is really useful if you’re mixing thick dough — you can actually feel how this spatula works.
So, thank you Ms. Samantha Rose for introducing me to GIR.
By the way, GIR means Get It Right. This spatula is…
- Heat proof to 464°F
- Heat resistant to 550°F
- Lab tested to decomposition at 986°F
I’ve yet to try it in cooking scrambled eggs, though but I think I just might try it tomorrow.

Thanks Mary!
What is your view/opinion/reasoning on Triangle vs Round Scones? These look amazing & I think I’ll make them soon as well 🙂
I like both shape of scones. I don’t think the shape really matters.
I’ve never tried this at Starbucks, but I know how it feels to find out something I enjoy disappears because the season is over! I hate that feeling! Good to see you figured out how to make your own. That’s the best! You can eat all year around…. 🙂 These scones look delicious!
Thanks Nami!
I am not a Starbucks fan, at all. But I love YOUR scones, they are probably much better than ST’s anyway. I am happy that your love’s coming back for good, forget the laundry, enjoy the moment.
Thank you so much, Nazneen.
I’m not a big fan of oats and this recipe makes me like them now. Looks delicious!
Thanks Gladys!

Thanks Kumar!
I’ve only tried baking a scone once…I think it was in the first baking class I attended, but I focused more on the bars and cookies. I should try this scone once I get my oven. Thanks for sharing.
I love baking scones because it’s easy to make!
I love scanning your blog about cooking and nakakatuwa kasi not all mommies are adventurous in cooking like you. Hope to meet you soon 🙂
Awwww, thanks Razel. Hope to meet you soon too!
Ooh I love scones! I can’t wait for my Mom to get back and try making this one. She’s the one with the baking hands not me!
This is really good and I bet you’ll love this.
It really pays to have good kitchen utensils at home. Sometimes when what you’re using is not the right thing, it ruins the mood.
So true!
Now I know why scones are very special to you. I don’t know if I have ever tried scones.
Surely you’ve tried one kind of scone.
Wow! This looks yummy!:) I’m surely gonna try this Saturday.. 🙂 Thanks for posting. 🙂

Who/What is peanutbutter? I don`t know how to cook/bake though. 🙁 I would love to learn soon.
peanutbutter is my husband..heehee.
What a day to start when eating this newly cooked scones with black coffee. Well, also, with cornmeal cookies.
Oh this is perfect with black coffee.
I haven’t seen scones in Starbucks. Too bad it’s just a seasonal item. I wonder why they don’t tag it as a regular when it looks so delicious! Awww you’re so creative in making food.
Thanks Roch!
Those looks scrumptious. I must make those soon.

This is very easy to do. I’m sure you can make this.
The Maple oat scones looks really tasty. The instructional is easy to follow too.
Thanks Franc.
I don’t think I have eaten scones before. Ah, I wish we have an oven at home so I can try my hand on baking. 🙁
Starbucks usually has scones and french baker too!
This would also be great since the this one is not too sweet.
It pairs perfectly with coffee..
Looks yummy! Now I’m really wishing that I have my own oven so I can try baking some of those here at home.
I like scones the moment I learned how to bake it from our baking 101 class. unfortunately, we dont have oven here in the house.
Awww, sayang! I love scones too.
My friendship with my husband started in Starbucks too. That’s why I learned to recreate the coffee-based caramel frap at home since it brings so much good (and kilig) memories. 😀

yihee!!
Met my hubby at Starbucks too!!!! Hahahaha. Good luck with cleaning the house. We just actually transferred to our new apartment a few days ago and everything was such a rush. But luckily we all survived. 🙂
Ohhhhh I want that spatula! Those scones look good. Would you believe I’ve never had a scone in my life? Hehe. Time to try!
Super easy to do lang. Hope you like this.
