Ingredients

For the Scone Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour can substitute with gluten-free all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt table salt can replace, use less
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar add sweetness and moisture
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon optional for a milder flavor

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips can use dark or dairy-free chocolate

Instructions

How to Make Banana Chocolate Chip Scones

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
  • Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the heavy cream with the ripe mashed bananas until smooth.
  • Make a well in the dry mixture and pour in the banana-cream mix, gently stirring until just combined.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and shape it into a disk about 1.5 to 2 inches thick. Cut the disk into 6 wedges.
  • Place the wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with heavy cream and sprinkle turbinado sugar on top.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  • Whisk together melted butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and a splash of milk to create icing, then drizzle over cooled scones.

Notes

Optional: Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence. Handle dough gently to avoid dense scones. Use overripe bananas for best flavor.
