Best 5 Blueberry Banana And Walnut Scones Recipes

MY FAVORITE BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter using a box grater. Add it to the flour mixture and combine with a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers until the mixture comes together in pea-sized crumbs. See video above for a closer look at the texture. Place in the refrigerator or freezer as you mix the wet ingredients together.
• Whisk 1/2 cup heavy cream, the egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the flour mixture, add the blueberries, then mix together until everything appears moistened.
• Pour onto the counter and, with floured hands, work dough into a ball as best you can. Dough will be sticky. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour. If it seems too dry, add 1-2 more Tablespoons heavy cream. Press into an 8-inch disc and, with a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut into 8 wedges.
• Brush scones with remaining heavy cream and for extra crunch, sprinkle with coarse sugar. (You can do this before or after refrigerating in the next step.)
• Place scones on a plate or lined baking sheet (if your fridge has space!) and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. After refrigerating, arrange scones 2-3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet(s).
• Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes before topping with vanilla icing.
• Leftover iced or un-iced scones keep well at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for 5 days.

BLUEBERRY BANANA SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In large bowl, whisk together flours, sugar, baking powder and soda, ginger and salt. Add cold butter and cut in with a pastry blender until mixture resembles wet sand.
• Mix together the mashed banana and sour cream in a separate bowl. Add to the butter and flour mixture and stir gently with a wooden spoon.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and sprinkle the top with the frozen blueberries and a light sprinkle of flour. Gently knead the dough until it comes together and blueberries are mixed in. Dough will be crumbly. Use a bit more flour if too sticky.
• Use a light hand and press into a 7-inch disk. Gently cut into 8 wedges with a pizza cutter.
• Place cut scones evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating pan once during baking time, until scones are lightly golden.

BLUEBERRY BANANA SCONES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• 2. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture looks like course grains. Some pea-sized pieces of butter are fine. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
• 3. Add blueberries and carefully combine. Mix banana with cream and add to flour mixture. Carefully mix to not break the blueberries. Work the dough just enough for it to hold together. Transfer dough to a floured surface. Form the dough into an 8 inch circle and cut into 8 wedges (like cutting a pie).
• 4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place scones on sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Brush scones with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
• 5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

BLUEBERRY-BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9- by 5- by 3-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla until blended. Stir in the bananas and blueberries. Add the dry ingredients and stir just until blended.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool for 15 minutes. Remove the loaf from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours.

BANANA-NUT SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
• Place bananas in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until mashed. Add brown sugar, yogurt, egg, and vanilla, beating until smooth. Add cinnamon, baking powder, and salt, beating to combine. Add flour, 1 cup at a time, beating just until combined after each addition. Do not overmix.
• Grate chilled butter into batter using a cheese grater. Beat to combine. Fold in walnuts using a rubber spatula. Drop batter by generous 1/4 cupfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges and tops of scones are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of a scone comes out with only crumbs, 17 to 20 minutes.
• 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. Add just enough confectioners' sugar, whisking in a small amount at a time, to reach desired consistency for glaze.
• Drizzle glaze over scones using a spoon or whisk.
