BANANA BREAD SCONES

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 extra-large, extra-ripe banana, mashed (1/2 cup)
1/3 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 1/4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 1/4 ounces (about 1/2 cup) hazelnuts, toasted, skinned, and finely chopped (see Cook's Note)
Sanding sugar for sprinkling

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.

BUTTERMILK-BANANA SCONES

Tender, buttery scones with a lovely hint of cinnamon. Infused with moisture and flavor from the ripe bananas. These are a tasty way to start the day-perfect with some tea or coffee!

Provided by Rebekah Rose Hills

Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
¼ cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup cold butter, cut into pieces
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
¾ cup buttermilk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

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.

BANANA NUT SCONES



Banana Nut Scones image

I made these up this morning when we were looking for a different flavour of scone for breakfast - and well, the very ripe bananas were calling me! I went easy on the sugar in the scones, and I sprinkled the top with Turbinado Sugar and oats to mimic a cruchy topping. These are not your typical buttery scones, but hearty, healthy, and hold you till lunch scones! If you don't have cinnamon chips, add a tbsp brown sugar, or you might wish to add raisins or chocolate chips, if you like your banana bread that way. This is my basic scone formula - I just change up the fruit and nuts to keep it interesting!

Time 30m

BANANA BRAN SCONES--COOKING LIGHT



Banana Bran Scones--Cooking Light image

These are tasty little nuggets from Cooking Light. They're not too sweet but just right. I think next time I make them I will add dried cranberries or some nuts, as IMO they need some more texture. When I made them I used white wheat flour and regular milk, and I'm sure buttermilk would be lovely. II also sprinkled with cinnamon sugar instead of plain granulated, and I bet turbinado would be nice as well.

Categories     Breads

Time 22m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour (about 4 1/2 ounces)
1/2 cup oat bran
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup mashed banana (about 2)
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1/4 cup fat-free buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons fat-free buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 6 ingredients (through cinnamon) in a food processor; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Combine banana and brown sugar in a medium bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Add flour mixture and 1/4 cup buttermilk alternately to banana mixture, stirring just until moist.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 1 1/2 minutes with floured hands. Pat dough into a 6-inch circle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cut dough into 8 wedges, cutting into, but not through, dough. Brush 1 1/2 teaspoons buttermilk over surface of dough; sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake at 400° for 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from pan; cool on wire racks.Preheat oven to 400°.

Tips for Making Perfect Banana Scones:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your scones will be. Look for bananas with yellow skin and brown spots.
  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will help to create flaky layers in your scones. Cut the butter into small pieces and chill it for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make your scones tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined and the dough is no longer sticky.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help to firm it up and make it easier to handle. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Bake the scones in a hot oven: A hot oven will help to create a crispy exterior and a tender interior. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) before baking the scones.

Conclusion:

The tips provided above are a step-by-step guide to baking delicious Banana Scones that are sure to impress your family and friends. Follow each tip carefully and the outcome will be a mouthwatering treat that not only looks fantastic but also tastes divine. Remember that baking is an art form that requires attention to detail and a touch of patience, so don't rush the process, instead savor each step and enjoy the culinary creation you're about to enjoy.
