1. What can I use if I don't have any maple extract? (Also, which maple extract do you recommend?)

1. I made a few slight changes and they turned out excellent! I've forever been searching for a Starbuck's maple oat scone recipe that comes close because I'm addicted to the original...and these come about as close as you can get! I used good maple syrup instead of water in the glaze (ended up using at least 1/4 cup with an unsifted 1 1/2 cups powd sugar) and made sure the scones were cool when I glazed them so the glaze stayed thick on top (killed me to wait!). I actually think they're better cool after they've sat for a little while. I also substituted 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour for 1/2 cup of the regular, upped the pecans to 1 cup and added a couple tbs more cream as they were not quite as moist as I would like. I also used a food processor up till adding the pecans (just pulsed the mixture to blend in ingredients then kneaded the pecans in lightly by hand). I've made them 3 times already trying to perfect the recipe and because they are SO GOOD!!!

2. Two of our sons worked at Starbucks. They are experts on Starbucks desserts. I made two substitutions as another writer suggested. I went with the 1/2 cup whole wheat flour and used 1 cup of nuts. My sons loved them.

3. Okay.. These are AMAZING! I love Starbucks anything... so I had to make these. I have made scones before, so I just used my usual method: I mixed everything in my food processor in the order listed and I made these for work, so I wanted more than 8. I formed the dough into a rectangle and cut it into 3 squares, then cut the squares into 2 triangles each, then cut the triangles into 2 smaller triangles. This gave me 12 mini scones and they were inhaled within about 20 minutes at work! Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT 4.

4. Absolutely delicious! My husband, who is a baking novice, made these for our anniversary breakfast and we loved them! Easy and tasty.

5. My wife made these for brunch this morning, and I was tickled pink when I bit into the first one. They weren't dry and the flavor just about knocked my socks off! I told her she better guard this one with her life, because we want it at hand to have again REAL soon. Delicious!!

1. I made two batches of these. I used egg nog instead of cream cause that's all I had. I followed the suggestions of other posters and used 1/2 cup maple syrup in the glaze (instead of water, still used the maple extract as well), and layered it on thick when they were cool - yum!! I'm giving these away as gifts as part of my "Christmas Brunch Baskets" along with homemade granola and biscotti.**** I did notice these didn't seem to stay fresh very long. The consistency of them were a little too dense for me. I'll be sure to use the cream next time in case that was the reason why. Probably best eaten right out of the oven.

2. These are EXCELLENT, but not exactly a Starbucks Maple Oat Nut Scone. I made as the recipe, using the half-n-half, walnuts instead of pecans and added a tablespoon of wheat germ. The kids LOVE THEM! I am going to try brown sugar and heavy cream next time. Very YUMMY!

3. These were very good! My dough was realtively wet, but I didn't want to the tamper with the recipe so I left it as it was. After baking, the scone was a tad on the dry side and very crumbly, but it was still quite tasty. Everyone in my family thought they tasted good, but were just a bit too dry, whcih wasn't too much of a problem when having it with a cup of coffee. The glaze was really yummy and I used 4 teaspoons of milk instead of water since we like a thicker glaze. I made these before we took a trip to Disneyland and they held up nicely over 2 days for breakfast and snacks. Thanks for sharing!

4. Oh my!! These are delicious! I put the oatmeal in as is, as suggested by others. Mixed it by hand. And they turned out great. Guesstimated the glaze,using whipping cream instead of water, but what a great addition to a scone.

5. I have never experienced a 'Starbucks' maple oat nut scone before... but this copycat recipe was awesome!!! I don't really know how much better the 'real' thing could get! I did not have any maple extract on hand, so I substituted some homemade vanilla extract. I also used walnuts in addition to the pecans becauses I was running a little short. For the glaze, again, I substituted the vanilla for maple extract, and also used a high quality maple syrup for the water. I did add just a little bit of water at the end to make it creamy and spreadable. The texture was wonderful and they were great with my coffee in the morning...not too sweet, but really hit the spot!!!
