  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix flour, ground oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Grate in frozen butter and toss to combine. Stir in walnuts. Make a well in the center of the mixture.
  • Mix 3/4 cup cream, egg, vanilla, and maple extract together in a small bowl. Add to dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until nearly smooth, 10 to 12 strokes. Divide in half. Pat each portion into 3/4-inch rounds, about 6 inches in diameter. Cut each round into six wedges.
  • Place wedges 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with remaining cream.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned at the edges, 14 to 16 minutes.
  • While scones bake, mix powdered sugar, milk, and maple extract together with a whisk in a small bowl. Add additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed. It should be fairly thick.
  • Let scones cool slightly, or if you can't wait, glaze warm and enjoy with a cup of coffee!
