Oatmeal Brown Sugar Scones

Oatmeal brown sugar scones! These scones are full of oats, brown sugar and warm spices. They are baked to golden brown, but still have a soft bite in the center. The perfect scone for Fall and so easy to make!

For extra cinnamon-sugar flavor in these scones, I sprinkle a dusting of my pre-made cinnamon-sugar mixture over the scones as soon as I remove them from the oven. Make your own cinnamon-sugar mixture by combining 1/4 sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon (double, triple, quadruple the recipe and add more cinnamon to your likeness).

Print Recipe
Serves: 8 Cooking Time: 25-27 minutes

Ingredients

  • SCONES:
  • 1 -1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons white granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup cold, unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (I used Rodelle Bakers Extract)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup quick oats
  • TOPPING:
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon raw sugar

Instructions

1

SCONES: Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and white and brown sugars in a large bowl. Use a pastry cutter to cut the cold butter into the flour mixture. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract and heavy cream. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add the oats and mix until just combined.

2

Lay a piece of parchment paper on the counter and sprinkle with flour. Dump the dough on the parchment paper and press out into an 8-inch circle. Place scone dough in the refrigerator for at least 1-hour to chill.

3

Once chilled, cut into 8 pie shaped slices and transfer to a parchment paper lined cookie sheet or a scone pan sprayed with baking spray.

4

TOPPING: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, cream and vanilla extract. Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the top of each scone. Sprinkle raw sugar on top of each scone.

5

Bake scones in 375-degree oven for 25-27 minutes or until lightly golden brown on top. Remove baked scones from the oven (option to sprinkle cinnamon sugar over each scone right from the oven). Let scones set for several minutes on the baking sheet or scone pan, before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Store scones in an airtight container at room temperature. Scones stay fresh for 3-4 days.

    I decrease the sugar just a bit and add cinnamon chips. Also brush with melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top prior to baking. Lovely. If I don’t have heavy cream, I use buttermilk. Also amazing.
