Who doesn\u2019t have overripe bananas sitting around? Mine? They practically multiply overnight. While I love a good banana bread, like this walnut and fig banana bread<\/a>, sometimes I also want all the flavors, but in a bakery-style scone! They bake really fast, meaning you can go from spotty banana to warm scone in hand in about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banana Scone Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Labelled<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ripe bananas<\/strong>: The spottier, the better. They add natural sweetness and moisture. You can even use frozen bananas. Thaw and drain them before use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flour<\/strong>: All-purpose flour keeps the texture tender. You can use whole wheat flour, but the texture will be a bit dense. I've also made these banana walnut scones using a combination of all-purpose and quinoa flour, and they turned out great! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butter<\/strong>: Cold butter<\/em> is key for flaky layers. You can use chilled coconut oil if you prefer. If you\u2019re using salted butter, then skip the salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cinnamon<\/strong>: Adds warmth and depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar:<\/strong> I used regular white sugar. Feel free to swap with light brown sugar, raw sugar, or coconut sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cream<\/strong>: Adds richness and helps bind the dough. Keep it cold. Use a little to brush the tops for that golden finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla extract<\/strong>: I love adding vanilla extract for flavor. Use store-bought or homemade vanilla extract<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walnuts<\/strong>: For crunch and nutty flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chocolate chips<\/strong>: Optional, but highly recommended in these banana chocolate scones. Use a good-quality baking chocolate<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Swap out the vanilla for almond extract for a slightly different flavor profile. Don\u2019t love walnuts? Pecans add amazing texture and taste. You can also use almonds or hazelnuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
