Equipment

  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients

For the Banana Scones

  • 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • Cup Light Brown Sugar, tightly packed
  • 2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 8 tablespoon Non-Dairy Butter, cold, cut into ¼" pieces
  • ½ Cup Mashed Overripe Banana see note
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract

To Top the Scones

  • 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

For the Vanilla Glaze

  • 1 Cup Powdered Sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoon Non-Dairy Milk
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400*F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and mix to distribute.
    2 Cups All-Purpose Flour, ⅓ Cup Light Brown Sugar, tightly packed, 2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, 2 teaspoon Baking Powder, ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda, ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • Add the cold cubed non-dairy butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Then, add the mashed banana and vanilla extract and use your hands to mix until a dough forms. See note!
    8 tablespoon Non-Dairy Butter, cold, cut into ¼" pieces, ½ Cup Mashed Overripe Banana, 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and press it into a 6-inch circle. Then, use a sharp knife or a bench cutter to cut the circle into 8 triangles.
  • Place the scones onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 2 ½ inches of space between each scone. Then, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle it over the tops of the scones.
    1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar, ¼ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • Bake the scones in a 400*F oven for 16-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown all the way across the bottoms. Allow the scones to cool for 10 mintues before glazing.

Make the Glaze

  • In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until completely smooth.
    1 Cup Powdered Sugar, sifted, 2 tablespoon Non-Dairy Milk, ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Drizzle the glaze over the scones using a spoon and allow it to set for 10 minuntes. Then, enjoy!

Notes

You will need 1-2 bananas for this recipe, depending on their size.
The banana needs to be super overripe for this recipe! We are talking banana bread bananas! And mash it really well with a fork.
When you add the banana and vanilla extract, it will take a minute for the dough to form. I like to mix the dough with my hands at this stage so I can pull the dry bits up from the bottom. That way, everything gets mixed evenly.
But if the Banana Scone dough looks dry at first, don't panic! It will come together.
