- Place the oven rack in the upper third position then preheat the oven to 425 degree F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the butter and using a fork or pastry blender, cut into the flour mixture until the butter pieces are the size of small peas.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed banana, milk and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just moistened.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 12-inch square.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the entire surface of the dough.
- Tightly roll the dough into a log. Flatten the log until it is 1 inch thick and 16 inches long. Cut into 6 rectangles, then halve the rectangle into 2 triangles. Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space in between.
- Brush the scones with milk and then bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.

I used whole wheat flour and these came out fabulous. Agree with one of the reviews & will cut back on the sugar/cinnamon mixture next time I make these.
I just made them and they turned out nice. Soft , fluffy, nicely browned. I made an adjustment on the sugar. I used total of 3 tbs and used coconut sugar. Thank you for a nice recipe.
You are welcome Challa! Take care and thanks for writing!
One of my favorite recipes!
Definitely a winner! I used nutmeg and ginger instead of cinnamon, our daughters allergic to cinnamon.
Really delicious and pretty easy to make!
I really liked how mine turned out! The main issues I had were dryness and size. I know traditional scones are a bit dry, and I might’ve over mixed it, but I whipped up a little brown sugar and butter mixture to put on top and it really helped!
I’d love to know if you have any input on how to adjust cooking if I wanted to make mini scones instead of full ones.
Thanks for the recipe!
You’re welcome Monica!
Hi Monica,
Bake the mini scones for 8 to 11 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown. Hope this helps!
Excellent recipe! Will make again. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome!
Oh! It looks so delicious! Thank you so much for sharing!! 🙂
