In a bowl, combine the oats, flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in pecans. Whisk together the egg and buttermilk; add to dry ingredients just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10 times., Transfer dough to a greased baking sheet. Pat into an 8-in. circle. Cut into eight wedges, but do not separate. Combine cinnamon and remaining sugar; sprinkle over dough. Bake at 400° for 17-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, whisk the first six ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in oats and blueberries. In another bowl, whisk yogurt and 1 tablespoon milk until blended; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened., Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 10 times.

Sprinkle with coarse sugar., Bake 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

BLUEBERRY OATMEAL SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• Stir the oatmeal, flours, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Use a pastry cutter or two forks and cut in the butter with the flour mixture until crumbly and well blended. Stir the milk into the flour mixture until just combined. Lightly stir in the pecans and blueberries. Collect the dough into a ball and pat into a large circle about 1 inch high. Cut into 8 wedges, and place on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with 2 tablespoons milk.
• Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

MAPLE-OATMEAL SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flours, oats, baking powder, sugar and salt. Blend the cold butter in at the lowest speed and mix until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Combine the buttermilk, maple syrup and eggs and add quickly to the flour-and-butter mixture. Mix until just blended. The dough may be sticky.
• Dump the dough out onto a well-floured surface and be sure it is combined. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough 3/4 to 1 inch thick. You should see lumps of butter in the dough. Cut into 3-inch rounds with a plain or fluted cutter and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush the tops with egg wash. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are crisp and the insides are done.
• To make the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and vanilla. When the scones are done, cool for 5 minutes and drizzle each scone with 1 tablespoon of the glaze. I like to sprinkle some uncooked oats on the top, for garnish. The warmer the scones are when you glaze them, the thinner the glaze will be.

• Turn the dough out onto a very well floured surface. If the dough is very sticky, flour the top of the dough also. Pat the mixture into a layer 3/4 to 1-inch thick. Using a 2-inch diameter round cutter, cut out the scones, dipping the cutter into flour each time between cuts. Place each scone, as cut, onto a parchment paper covered sheet pan leaving 2 to 3 inches between each scone. This should make 12 round scones. (You can also form dough into rectangular shape and cut with a knife into 12 square or triangle scones.)
• Bake for about 18 minutes or until golden brown on both the top and bottom of scones.

(RELATIVELY) HEALTHY OATMEAL SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Mix together dry ingredients (flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt).
• Cut in butter (I like to dice the butter and add it in, separating the cubes) and combine using a fork until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.
• Add dried fruit to dry mixture if desired.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients (buttermilk, half-and-half, vanilla).
• Gradually add wet mixture to the flour mixture and combine until a soft and sticky dough is formed.
• Move dough to a lightly floured surface and knead 2-3 times. Do not overwork the dough. Roll the dough into a 6-8-inch circle (depending on how thick you like your scones) and cut into 8 pie-shaped slices. You can experiment with other dough shapes (such as circles) to maximize servings.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until scones are golden-brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• For extra crunch and golden color, brush the tops of the scones with buttermilk. Liberally sprinkle sugar on top and broil carefully for a few minutes, turning and adjusting as necessary. Be sure to watch as sugar browns quickly.
• Enjoy.

OATMEAL RAISIN SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
• In large bowl, mix flour, oats, 2/3 cup sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon and the baking powder until blended. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in raisins, 1 cup whipping cream and the vanilla with fork until mixture leaves side of bowl and forms a soft dough.
• On lightly floured surface, knead dough lightly 5 times. On cookie sheet, pat dough with floured hands into 8-inch round. Using sharp knife, cut round into 10 wedges, but do not separate. Mix 2 tablespoons sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Brush dough with 1 tablespoon whipping cream; sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.
• Bake 24 to 26 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; carefully separate wedges. Serve warm.

COOKED OATMEAL SCONES

Steps:

• Melt the butter and honey together, and mix them into the cool, cooked oatmeal.
• Mix in the milk, half at a time.
• Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• You may wish to adjust the salt depending on how much was used in cooking the oatmeal- I am assuming not very much, if any.
• Mix the flour into the oatmeal.
• If the mixture seems too moist, add a little more flour.
• (This will depend on how moist your cooked oatmeal was. When enough flour has been stirred in, the dough will form a rough ball.) Roll out to 1" thick and cut in wedges, or scoop it out with an ice cream scoop and flatten it to 1" with dampened hands.
• Bake on a greased and floured sheet at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes.

BERRY OATMEAL SCONES

• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into an 8-inch round, about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges. Brush cream over scones and sprinkle tops with turbinado sugar. Arrange on the prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

OATMEAL DATE DROP SCONES

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together the milk, the egg, the brown sugar, and the vanilla until the mixture is combined well.

Sir in the dates and the milk mixture until the mixture just forms a sticky dough. Drop the dough by 1/3-cup measures onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake the scones in the middle of a preheated 400°F. for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden. (Alternatively the scones may be dropped onto a hot greased griddle and cooked over moderate heat, turning them, for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden on both sides and cooked through.)
