Description

Ingredients

• 2 very ripe bananas
• 2-4 tbs milk, plus 2 tbs
• 4 oz plain low-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 4 tbs sugar
• 2 teas baking powder
• 1/2 teas salt
• 1 teas cinnamon
• 4 tbs unsalted butter, cut into 1/4 pieces
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 tbs real maple syrup
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4-1/2 cup confectioners sugar

Directions

• In a bowl, mash the bananas with a fork to equal one cup (and add a bit of milk if needed to fill to one cup, or some more banana if you have another about). Mix in the Greek yogurt; Set aside.
• In another large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. With your fingers, work the butter into the flour mix until it resembles fine crumbs and no large pieces remain.
• Stir in the banana mixture until just combined. Fold in the nuts.
• On a piece of wax paper, lightly dusted with flour, form the dough into a 9 disk about 1 thick. Top with a light sprinkle of flour and another sheet of wax paper. Place in freezer for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• When ready to cook, remove the top piece of wax paper, slice the dough into 8 equal pieces and slides each out a bit to give each piece some room to grow as it bakes. Place the dough, still on the wax paper, onto a baking sheet. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until scones are a light golden brown.
• Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
• Whisk the maple syrup, vanilla, and confectioners sugar together to form the glaze. Add more sugar if needed to thicken. Drizzle over the scones.
