Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

Step 2

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.

Step 3

3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and canola oil together. Add the honey and mix until combined. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and fold together with a rubber spatula to combine. Add the cream and mix together (the dough will be a little wet). Cover the diced figs with the sugar and gently fold into the dough.

Step 4

4. On a well-floured surface, and dusting the top of the dough with more flour, pat the dough out into a 7-inch circle. Cut into 8 triangles. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container, but they are best the same day they are made.

Chef’s notes

As with all scones, these are incredibly easy to throw together – you need only a couple of bowls, a whisk and spatula. It comes together very easily and you’ll have them mixed up and out of the oven in about 45 minutes. These have a fantastic texture thanks to the oats and a really mild flavor thanks to the honey. And if you’re a fig fan, as I am, you won’t be able to get enough of all those pockets of chopped figs. You can use fresh or dried, whichever is more readily available for you.

A quick note – I forgot to check my oven thermometer on these and they got a little over-done without my realizing until I spotted the actual temp. Yours won’t brown that much, and won’t spread as much either. A good lesson on how important an oven thermometer is!
