‘Starbucks’ Maple Oat Scone Recipe

by Allen Williams on December 10, 2010


Starbucks maple oat scones were my morning bit of bliss for a couple years. When I worked at eBay we conveniently had a Starbucks located across the parking lot. I would buy my grande coffee and wait eagerly to receive my maple scone.

When I travel and find myself someplace new, I eventually end up in a Starbucks and always try the maple oat scone. Each region seems to have a slightly different recipe in use so it’s fun to see the variation. I’d heard rumors that the scones had been discontinued but I still occasionally see them. With my recipe though, you won’t need to wait in line and can save money.

I’ve always thought that ‘some day’ I’ll work on figuring out the recipe. Every time I make scones, I ponder how I might concoct the recipe. Yesterday, while busy with a bunch of little projects, I decided to spare an hour to crank these out. But, how do they taste? I think they taste just like the real thing, maybe better since mine haven’t sat around in a freezer.
