Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams rolled oats
- 100 grams whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 60 milliliters unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters low-fat milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the unsweetened applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, and low-fat milk to the mashed bananas and whisk together until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Using a tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the drop scones in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a scone comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
