We’re heading up to my parent’s this evening for a quick weekend visit. (Yes, it does feel like we live in our car!) I can’t just show up empty handed, so I made sure to make a few things to bring with us. I’m always excited about baking for my parents, because my mom likes coffee.
That means I can make baked goods that either have coffee in them or go well with coffee! That doesn’t happen very often around here since my husband doesn’t like coffee. . .
When I started thinking about what to make, my mind went to scones. I love enjoying fresh scones with a hot cup of coffee. You know I love all things cinnamon, so I decided to go for a flavor of scone that is based off of one of my favorite flavors of lattes, french toast.
These maple glazed french toast scones have all of the flavors of french toast, including lots of cinnamon!
A hint of nutmeg and allspice round out the flavors in the scone. Cinnamon sugar gives the scones a crackly top and a bit of crunch in each bite.
To round out the classic flavors associated with french toast, a drizzle of maple glaze finishes off these irresistible scones.
