Banana Scones

Don’t worry. I haven’t gone off the rails and reverted to unhealthy food after all the promises I have made for the month of January. But I really, really needed a baked good. I really did, so I put fruit in it and called it good.

I have actually been sick this week. Like the icky stomach flu kind that we shall not discuss further on a food blog kind. I am very off my game and nothing sounds good to me. Except for these scones. Banana scones.

I love banana baked goods- but didn’t have the patience for banana bread. Plus I’ve had scones on the brain. (I find that happening a lot lately… ) So I just added mashed banana to my breakfast scones and created a comforting and incredibly tasty treat for myself.

Banana Scones

These are so tender and only subtly sweet and spiced and they make your house smell like complete heaven. I also highly recommend them with a slather of nutella. And now, if you will excuse me I would love to do nothing more than crawl into my sweats and sleep the weekend away. (ha! I’m sure my 3 and 5 year olds will totally let me do that, right?)

To make these banana scones, this is what you do:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and prepare a sheet pan with a silpat or parchment paper. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the dry ingredients.

Pulse in the cold butter to a coarse crumb.
