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.

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)

1/4 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.

These scones were a bit too dense for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my scones turned out really dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These scones were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of bran, but these scones were surprisingly good! The banana flavor really helped to balance out the bran flavor.

These scones were a hit at my brunch party! They were light and fluffy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The banana flavor was subtle, but it really complemented the bran. I'll definitely be making these again!
