For best results, use very ripe bananas for maximum flavor and moisture. Chilling the butter is crucial for creating flaky scones. If you don't have time to grate it, you can cut it into small cubes and quickly work it into the flour mixture with your fingertips or a pastry blender. Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough scones. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. Feel free to customize the recipe by adding other nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips. These scones are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, mash bananas with an electric mixer until smooth. Add brown sugar, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined. (3 minutes)
03
StepAdd cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Beat until just combined. Gradually add flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until just incorporated after each addition. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)
04
StepGrate the chilled butter into the batter using a cheese grater. Gently mix until evenly distributed. Fold in the chopped walnuts using a rubber spatula. (5 minutes)
05
StepDrop generous 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each scone. Optionally, sprinkle with additional chopped walnuts. (5 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven for 17 to 20 minutes, or until the edges and tops of the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few crumbs attached. (20 minutes)
07
StepWhile the scones are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine maple syrup and butter. Cook until butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, but do not boil. Remove from heat. (5 minutes)
08
StepGradually whisk in sifted confectioners' sugar, a small amount at a time, until the glaze reaches your desired consistency. (3 minutes)
09
StepOnce the scones are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over them using a spoon or whisk. Allow the glaze to set before serving. (5 minutes)
