Brown Sugar Banana Scones Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and ginger. Cut butter into a few chunks and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingertips.
• Mix milk and vanilla in a small glass. Pour about 4 tablespoons into the flour mixture and stir until the mixture starts to come together. Add the banana chunks and continue to stir, adding more milk if necessary, until dough comes together.
• Pat dough into a disk about 1 inch thick. Cut into four sections with a knife and place each on baking sheet.
• Bake at 400F for 17-20 minutes, until light gold.
• Cool on wire rack or eat warm. These scones are best the day they are made.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the banana, cream, egg, and vanilla. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Cut in the butter with a pastry blender, or 2 knives used like scissors, until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some larger pieces. (You can use your fingers if you work fast enough that the butter stays cold.) Toss in the chopped chocolate and hazelnuts.
• Drizzle in the banana mixture and stir with a fork until the mixture is crumbly and moistened, but stop before you've mixed it into a uniform batter. Tip out the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and pat it into a 6-inch circle. Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 equal triangles. (At this point, you could freeze the triangles well-wrapped on their sheet for another day. Bake them from frozen.) Spread the triangles apart and brush the tops with the cream. Sprinkle with sanding sugar.
• Bake until the scones are golden brown and set, 22 to 25 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a scone should come out clean. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature. Scones are best the day they're made.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Whisk both flours, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in blueberries and walnuts. Beat yogurt and banana in a small bowl until smooth; add to flour mixture and stir gently just until dough holds together.
• Turn dough out onto prepared baking sheet and pat into an 8-inch circle. Score the dough into 8 wedge-shaped pieces using a butter knife. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over dough.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 18 to 20 minutes.
• While scones are baking, whisk confectioner's sugar and water together in a small liquid measuring cup. Drizzle over warm scones before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicon mat (such as Silpat®).
• Combine 2 3/4 cups flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl; stir to blend. Toss in cold butter and cut it into the dry mixture with a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Blend mashed bananas, buttermilk, and vanilla together in a small bowl. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir gently until the mixture comes together. If it's a little too wet, add just a little bit more flour. Handle as lightly as possible and form into a disc on the prepared baking sheet. Gently cut into 12 wedges or just score the disc.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and baked all the way through, 22 to 28 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving to a rack to complete cooling.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. With a pastry blender or 2 forks, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
• In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, extract, and egg whites. Whisk together well. Add to the flour mixture along with the mashed bananas. Stir well.
• The dough will be wet and sticky, but turn onto a well-floured surface and knead lightly 5 times. Pat into a 9-inch circle on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with the pecans and remaining tablespoon of brown sugar, pressing gently into the dough.
• With a sharp knife, cut the dough into 12 weges. **Cut into, but not all the way through, the dough.** Bake 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Completely cut into wedges and serve warm.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together honey, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons water; set aside. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When foam from butter subsides, add bananas in a single layer; cook, flipping once, until dark brown, 7 to 9 minutes total.
• Add reserved honey mixture; cook 45 seconds and serve immediately. Cooled bananas can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 day. Reheat over medium-low before serving.
