Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Cold unsalted butter
- 2 medium Ripe bananas, mashed
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Chocolate chips
- 1 large Egg, beaten (optional, for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges, like a pizza.
Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
If using the egg wash, brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Banana Chocolate Chip Scones with butter, jam, or on their own!
