Description

Carrot Cake Scones with Maple Cream Cheese Glaze is a cozy handheld treat that captures classic carrot cake flavors with warm cinnamon and nutmeg, crunchy pecans, and a luscious maple cream cheese glaze. Perfect for brunch, holidays, or a comforting coffee moment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1 cup finely grated carrots
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the maple cream cheese glaze: 115 g cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1–2 tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in grated carrots and chopped pecans.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk cream, egg, and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Turn dough onto a floured surface, shape into a circle, and cut into 8 wedges.
  7. Place on baking sheet and bake until golden brown. Cool completely.
  8. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled scones and serve.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for 10 minutes after shaping to help with clean cuts.
  • If the glaze is too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar.
  • These are best enjoyed the day they’re baked, but can be stored in an airtight container for 1–2 days.
