Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces ripe bananas Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened Ensure your butter is at room temperature.
  • 1 piece egg Can be substituted with a flax egg for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips Optional ingredient.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, cream the softened butter with the sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and mashed bananas to the butter-sugar mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, folding gently until combined.
  6. If desired, fold in walnuts or chocolate chips.
  7. Flour your hands, scoop out portions of the dough, and form round scone shapes on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Lightly flatten them to ensure even baking.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  2. Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. These scones can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes.
