Banana Bread Scones

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

At breakfast, brunch, or tea time, weโ€™re always happy to have a scone. And the banana bread scones have that sublime crumbly and buttery texture with just a hint of crunch at the corners to go with a steaming cuppa!

Banana Bread Scones | Easy Eggless Recipe

When the stay-at-home order began, everyone and I mean everyone, seemed to bake a loaf of banana bread. Since Iโ€™ve already made my fair share, I wanted to take a different route to utilize the overripe bananas that seem to grace every table in every home. 

And then I came across an exquisite recipe for banana bread scones. So, I did what I needed to do โ€“ added my twist and got to making the scones.

We certainly love scones in this house! The thick, sort-of-cakey, sort-of-cookie treats are devoured by the fistful. Yet, these banana bread scones surpassed even our veteran palates. For me, the scones were a double victory because they have all the feel of banana bread but take just half the time to make!

Why we love banana scones

  • Banana bread scones barely require any effort. They are so easy to make.
  • They have all the feel of banana bread with half the time!
  • Tender, buttery, and crispy-edged cozy scones that everyone loves.
  • Great for beginner bakers too.
  • A fabulous way to use up all those overripe spotty bananas.

How to make banana bread scones?

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 200 C. Line a baking tray with baking paper or Silpat.

Step 2: In a small bowl, mix mashed banana, vanilla extract, and cream well.

Step 3: In a large bowl, sift the dry ingredients - all-purpose flour, quinoa flour, cinnamon powder, baking powder, and salt ( if using unsalted butter/coconut oil).

Step 4: Stir in the coconut sugar.

Step 5: Rub in the chilled cubed butter, using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, until the mixture forms large coarse crumbs.

Step 6: Mix in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips.

Step 7: Pour over the banana mixture and mix with a fork until the dry ingredients are just moistened. If the mixture seems too dry, add in a bit more cream.

Step 8: Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and press together gently till it forms a ball.

Step 9: Press into a 9" circle and cut into 8 triangles. Gently place on the prepared tray. Brush lightly with cream. Sprinkle some sugar on top.

Step 10: Bake for 18-20 minutes or until lightly golden and cooked through.

Banana cinnamon scones recipe pro tips

  • I used a mix of all-purpose and quinoa flours in this recipe. You can skip the quinoa flour and use only all-purpose flour.
  • I used salted butter, so I forgo the salt. If youโ€™re using unsalted butter, then add a quarter teaspoon of salt to the dry ingredient bowl.
  • The secret to cottony soft scones is cold butter. Donโ€™t let the butter melt. When youโ€™re mixing it in the dry ingredients, make quick work of it. 
  • The second secret to soft scones is not kneading. The more you knead, the harder the scones will be. The trick is when you fold the dry, and wet ingredients do it gently, and quickly.
  • You can also use frozen bananas in this recipe for banana scones.

Serving the banana and walnut scones

Banana bread scones are very lightly sweetened with most of the sugar coming from the speckled bananas and chocolate chunks, making them the quintessential snack with tea, coffee, or even iced coffee.

The delicately suffused flavors of vanilla and cinnamon and the explosion of texture thanks to the nuts and chocolate chips, make them the ultimate middle-of-the-week treat.
