Ingredients

  • For the scones:
  • 2 very ripe bananas mashed (1 cup)
  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose unbleached flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter cut into little pieces
  • For the glaze:
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Mash bananas then add yogurt. Set aside.
  • In large bowl, combine flours, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Whisk until well combined. Using a pastry cutter, a fork, or your fingers, cut in the butter until there are no pieces of butter larger than a pea.
  • Add banana/yogurt mixture to flour and stir until just combined.
  • On a cutting board lined with wax paper, turn dough out on top. Pat it into a disk about 1" thick then cover with another piece of wax paper. Place in freezer for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Once ready to bake, peel off top layer of wax paper then invert onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Peel off second layer. Cut disc into 8 triangular scones, then pull them apart about 1 inch from each other to give them room to bake. Bake in preheated oven 25-30 minutes, until the scones are golden brown.
  • While scones are baking, make the glaze by whisking together the melted butter, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Drizzle scones with glaze. Enjoy!
  • Note:For scones that are not going to be eaten right away, keep un-glazed until ready to eat, otherwise they may get soggy.
