These were my first attempt at scones - they were delicious! The maple flavour was there, but not terribly strong so they weren't overly sweet. I'm a huge maple fan and these totally hit the spot and they weren't hard to make! (I thought scones were hard to make!) I left out the cherries because I wasn't sure about them, a walnut or another type of nut would go well with this. This pairs well with the Christmas Brunch Casserole. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I'll bet this would be good with nuts. The dried cherries are so tasty, but the maple flavour barely comes through. Have to play with that a bit.

Very good with walnuts! The texture/crumb strays a little from the classic scone; nontheless We really liked it.

I don't know what I did wrong but the batter was ridiculously runny. I had to add a lot of flour to get them into any sort of scone shape. The recipe sounded so good but the end result falls short. They were just so-so and too much work for something so-so.

Wonderful texture and very present flavor, but I don't really detect any maple in them, which is normal because maple is delicate and needs to be used in high quantities to achieve a subtle hint of it at all. But good otherwise.

These are the best Maple Oat Scones I've found so far. I'm looking fwd to messing with the ingredients to see if I can get closer to the Starbucks Maple Oat Nut Scone.

Wow! These scones are amazing! I'm not sure what it is, but they have this "taste" to them that is totally amazing! Perhaps it is the unsalted butter...or maybe the maple extract? Whatever it was, these scones smelled heavenly while they were baking and taste even better! I didn't have any cherries, so I used sweetened dried cranberries instead. I will be making them again, and might substitute chopped pecans for the dried cherries. Oatmeal Maple Pecan scones; what can top that?!

I served these for Christmas brunch and everyone really loved them. However, I think next time I will use more maple to give it more flavor. They need a little more punch, but I enjoy big flavors. I also used craisins instead of the dried cherries for cost effectiveness. I thought they were a nice compliment to the maple.
