maple oatmeal scones

Yes, I have already mentioned them. And yes, they are quite delicious. In fact, I may go so far as to say that these are some of the best scones I've made. Now, I could never cheat on my one true scone love, the chocolate chip scones from Baking with Julia, but these are of a different type entirely. They have a more hearty texture because of the oatmeal and are delicately sweet, thanks to the maple syrup. Also, I have to add that you should really use real, good quality maple syrup--not the fake stuff (and this is coming from a girl who loves her Log Cabin "Maple" Syrup). It's the only way the maple flavor is going to come through after baking. I also added some cinnamon chips to give them a little extra something. I swear, cinnamon chips are good in nearly everything.

So try them! They're scones with a little more character and they are absolutely delicious. Perfect with a cup of tea on a rainy day.
