Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Cold unsalted butter
• 2 medium Ripe bananas, mashed
• 3 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Chocolate chips
• 1 large Egg, beaten (optional, for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges, like a pizza.

Step 8

Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 9

If using the egg wash, brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Banana Chocolate Chip Scones with butter, jam, or on their own!
