Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. (5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. (3 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (5 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Add the banana chunks and gently cut them into the flour mixture, leaving some small banana pieces intact. (2 minutes)

05

Step
1 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. (1 minute)

06

Step
2 mins

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough will be sticky. (2 minutes)

07

Step
3 mins

Divide the dough in half. On the prepared baking sheet, form each portion into a round, approximately 3/4 to 1 inch thick. (3 minutes)

08

Step
2 mins

Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to score each round into 8 wedges, cutting about 1/3-inch deep. (2 minutes)

09

Step
17 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes, or until golden brown. (17 minutes)

10

Step
5 mins

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before breaking apart the scones along the score lines. (5 minutes)

For best results, use very cold butter. You can even freeze the butter for 15 minutes before cutting it in.
Do not overmix the dough, as this will result in tough scones.
These scones are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
For longer storage, freeze the baked scones for up to 2 months. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
If you don't have brown sugar, you can use granulated sugar with a tablespoon of molasses.
