Mia, Sasha, and I made the most delicious banana Scones for breakfast this morning & they went FAST! I’m definitely going to have to double the recipe next time because the kids were each so bummed when they went back only to find an already emptied sheet pan.

They are the perfect amount of banana, perfect amount of hazelnut, and perfect texture. Some scones can be so dry and dusty that you actually risk dying from choking, but not these! These are moist, but firm, and just sweet enough. Even my husband who isn’t a fan of sweets loved them!

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
• 2 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1.5 sticks Salted Butter, cut into cubes
• 2/3 cup Coconut Milk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 3 Mashed Bananas
• 3 Tablespoons Melted Salted Butter (for brushing)
• 3 Tablespoons Heavy Cream (for brushing)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 425°F & line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking salt, cinnamon, & sea salt until combined.
• Add the butter cubes then incorporate using your hands until the mixture is coarse & crumbly like sand.
• Make a well in the center and add the liquid ingredients: mashed Bananas, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Mix together until a dough forms, adding a little extra flour if the mixture is too sticky.
• Divide the dough into 2 even disks, form each disk into a 6″ patty. Cut each patty into 8 equal triangle pieces and place onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet. There should be a total of 16 scones on the sheet.
• Bake for 10 minutes. While baking, whisk together the melted butter and heavy whipping cream.
• Remove pan from oven, brush scones with butter & cream mixture. Place back into oven for 5 more minutes.
• Remove from oven to let cool.
• While cooling, mix together 1 cup Hazelnut Spread, 3 tablespoons Heavy Cream, and 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract. Warm mixture in microwave for 30 seconds, stir.
• Drizzle warm Hazelnut mixture on top of scones, let rest a moment to let the Hazelnut drizzle settle, and serve. Enjoy!

Until next time ♡ Mama Morozov
