Scones are a traditional British and Irish baked good, with a tender crumb that's somewhere between a quick bread and a biscuit. To give these hearty scones a deep, sweet flavor with amplified nuttiness and texture, we bake our oats with maple syrup for a toasty, granola-like crunch.

In this recipe from our cookbook "Milk Street Bakes," we process a portion of the oat mixture with the other dry ingredients to distribute the flavor and texture through every bite. Maple syrup sweetens the batter and the glaze, while freshly grated nutmeg adds warmth and spice.
