Ingredients
Scones
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter cubed
- 1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas about 1 large or 2 medium bananas. For lower carb scones, use ½-1 teaspoon banana extract and increase the milk to 1/3 cup.
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg lightly beaten
Maple Glaze
- Maple Glaze Drizzle –
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar sifted
- 2 tablespoons real maple syrup
- 1-2 teaspoons heavy cream optional until desired consistency is reached.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a food processor, pulse together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Pulse until the flour mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Place in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix the mashed banana, milk, vanilla extract, and beaten egg until well combined.
- Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Add flour as needed until the dough holds together without being too sticky.
- Pat it into an 8-inch circle about 1-inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Topping
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar or top with maple glaze.
Maple Glaze
- Sift sugar into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add maple syrup one tablespoon at a time. Add additional cream 1 teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Notes
- Make sure your butter and milk are straight from the fridge. Cold butter creates those irresistible flaky layers in your scones.
- Mix just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to dense, tough scones.
- If your kitchen is warm or you’ve handled the dough too much, pop it into the fridge for 10-15 minutes before baking. This helps the butter stay cold, resulting in flakier scones.
- Whether you’re cutting them into wedges or rounds, try to shape them to a similar size to ensure even baking.
