BANANA-NUT SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
• Place bananas in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until mashed. Add brown sugar, yogurt, egg, and vanilla, beating until smooth. Add cinnamon, baking powder, and salt, beating to combine. Add flour, 1 cup at a time, beating just until combined after each addition. Do not overmix.
• Grate chilled butter into batter using a cheese grater. Beat to combine. Fold in walnuts using a rubber spatula. Drop batter by generous 1/4 cupfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges and tops of scones are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of a scone comes out with only crumbs, 17 to 20 minutes.
• When scones have a few minutes left in the oven, combine maple syrup and butter for glaze in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until butter melts completely; do not boil. Remove from heat. Add just enough confectioners' sugar, whisking in a small amount at a time, to reach desired consistency for glaze.
• Drizzle glaze over scones using a spoon or whisk.

BUTTERMILK-BANANA SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicon mat (such as Silpat®).
• Combine 2 3/4 cups flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl; stir to blend. Toss in cold butter and cut it into the dry mixture with a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Blend mashed bananas, buttermilk, and vanilla together in a small bowl. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir gently until the mixture comes together. If it's a little too wet, add just a little bit more flour. Handle as lightly as possible and form into a disc on the prepared baking sheet. Gently cut into 12 wedges or just score the disc.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and baked all the way through, 22 to 28 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving to a rack to complete cooling.
