Maple Pecan Scones

A Delicious Maple Pecan Scone Recipe!

We all need dessert for breakfast once in a while, right? Scones are great for a special occasion breakfast or brunch, and they make for a great weekend treat. I love scones but they need to be made the right way. I’ve had too many dry, lifeless scones from bakeries that definitely weren’t worth paying for. These are perfectly soft, tender, and moist and you’ll love the maple, oat, and pecan flavor combination—not to mention the perfect texture. They are a perfect fall scone with that cozy maple flavoring and trust me, they are hard to resist!

Tip – Serve Warm for Ultimate Deliciousness

In my opinion, these are best served when they are still a bit warm. They melt in your mouth at that point. Yes, they are definitely still good once they cool off completely, but just like many other baked goods, they are amazing when eaten warm (so give them a quick turn in the microwave). I love how hearty these scones are with their addition of oats and nuts, which you don’t find in a plain scone. I also like that they have some sweetness to them. I don’t like a scone that only has a few tablespoons of sugar, I might as well just eat a good biscuit slathered with butter instead. Though this recipe requires a few extra steps like freezing and grating the butter and grinding the oats, the end result is well worth it. Once you’re biting into one of these you’ll realize those few extra steps were worth it. These scones are dreamy. I am so happy to announce that I will be partnering with Fisher nuts over the next year to bring you many delicious recipes, all made with Fisher nuts. I chose to work with Fisher nuts because it is the only brand of recipe nuts entirely without preservatives. The pecans in this recipe are perfect, but you could also try almonds!
