11 servings

  • 2 medium bananas
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts, or more to taste
  • 0.33333334326744 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted

Instructions

  • 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.
