Best Banana Nut Chocolate Chip Scones Recipes

CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt (if using buttermilk, see note for adding baking soda). Add the butter. Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut in the butter to the flour mixture until crumbly and the butter is in small pea-sized pieces. Alternately, you can grate the butter into the flour with the large holes of a box grater and toss to combine with the flour (don't cut the butter into chunks, leave it whole as a stick).
• In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the cream (or buttermilk), mashed banana and vanilla extract.
• Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture. Stir with a fork or rubber spatula until it starts to come together and forms large clumps. Add the chocolate chips or chocolate chunks.
• Using your hands, knead the dough until it forms an cohesive mass and most of the dry ingredients are incorporated.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured counter and pat into a long, skinny rectangle, about 15-inches long by 2 1/2-inches wide. (You can alter the dimensions if you want larger or smaller scones.) Using a sharp knife or bench knife, cut the rectangle into 12 wedges or triangles.
• Place evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. At this point, you can cover and refrigerate for an hour to firm up the dough (or up to 24 hours) or bake right away. If baking right away, the scones might lose a bit of their shape, but they'll still taste great.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and baked through. Let cool completely or until just warm before glazing.
• For the glaze, whisk together all the ingredients until smooth, thinning with extra water or milk, if needed. It should be thick but pourable. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the scones. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temp for 1-2 days.

CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
• Cut the butter into the mixture using a pastry cutter or a fork until the mixture resembles very coarse sand. Don't worry if you have butter the size of peas throughout the mixture, this is fine. Mix in the chocolate chips.
• In a medium bowl mix together 1/2 cup of the heavy cream and banana.
• Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour the cream mixture into the well. Mix the dough together using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. It will be slightly dry, but will hold together. Don't over-mix.
• Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a disk about 1 1/2 - 2- inches thick. Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 6 wedges.
• Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
• Bake for 15- 20 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
• Whisk together the butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and milk until smooth. Drizzle the icing onto the scones and allow it to set.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

BANANA NUT SCONES WITH MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, beat the mashed bananas, yogurt, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract together. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together. Grate the frozen butter (I use a box grater to grate it; a food processor also works for grating). Toss the grated butter into the flour mixture and combine it with a pastry cutter, two forks, a food processor, or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Set aside.
• Drizzle wet ingredients over flour mixture, add the walnuts, and then toss the mixture together with a rubber spatula until everything appears moistened. Try your best to not overwork the dough at any point. Dough will be sticky and a little wet. Drop scones, 1/4 cup of dough each, at least 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Brush scones with milk, then top with a little coarse sugar if desired for extra crunch. Tastes great!
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and cool as you make the icing. The scones taste even better after they cool down!
• In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and maple syrup together, whisking occasionally. Once the butter has melted, remove from heat and whisk in the sifted confectioners' sugar. Drizzle over scones.
• Scones are best enjoyed right away, though leftover scones keep well at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 3-5 days.

• When scones have a few minutes left in the oven, combine maple syrup and butter for glaze in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until butter melts completely; do not boil. Remove from heat.

• Cut dough in half and then in half the other way (now you have 4 pieces. Now repeat again. So now you have 8 triangles.
• Pull trianges out from each other so they are not touching too much. This will give you lots of nice crust.
• Bake for about 20 minutes. Time depends on how thick you made the scones. To test for doneness -- check the centres where they touch. If firm, they should be done.
