Maple oat scone with walnuts

In college I worked in several different independent coffee shops. One of them sold these amazing maple oat scones with a light and sweet maple glaze and I probably averaged one scone for every morning shift I worked. I would have eaten them during afternoon shifts, but they always sold out. Yes, a similar product is (was?) available at everyone's favorite corporate coffee giant, but these were fresh baked daily and infinitely superior in every way (not that I'm biased).

Loaded Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

I mentioned in an earlier post how cookies are my go-to dessert due to how quickly you can go from craving to warm, sugary satisfaction. What this means is that 1) I always have cookie fixings on hand and 2) I'm always up to trying out a new recipe. I've recently been interested in trying out gluten free recipes, not because of an intolerance, but because they often have interesting substitutions that are more nutritious than all purpose flour.
