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.

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.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the banana, the sweeter and more flavorful your scones will be.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough.
- Be careful not to overbake the scones. Overbaked scones will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the scones cool slightly before serving. This will help them to hold their shape.
- Serve the scones warm with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, jam, honey, and whipped cream.
