Ingredients

  • Scones
    • 2 cups flour
    • 1/3 cup brown sugar
    • 1 tbsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
    • Dash of nutmeg
    • 8 tbsp butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
    • 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (about 1 medium banana)
    • 1/3 cup heavy cream (plus a little extra to brush on the scones before baking)
    • 1 egg
    • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Maple Glaze
    • 3 tbsp butter (melted)
    • 4 tbsp maple syrup
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • Dash of cinnamon

Directions

  1. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and combine until the mixture resembles course sand.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk together the banana, heavy cream, egg, and vanilla until well combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients into the dry, and combine until just incorporated (do not over-mix!).
  5. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface, and form into a disk that is 1 inch thick.
  6. Cut the dough into 8 even triangles and place on a baking sheet.
  7. Cool dough in the fridge while the oven is preheating. Before baking, brush the top of each scone with heavy cream.
  8. Bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. While scones are cooling, whisk together all ingredients for the maple glaze.
  10. When completely cooled, drizzle or dip the scones in the glaze.
