Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ cup confectioners' sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup chopped walnuts
• ½ cup whole wheat flour

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

Step 2

Whisk both flours, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in blueberries and walnuts. Beat yogurt and banana in a small bowl until smooth; add to flour mixture and stir gently just until dough holds together.

Step 3

Turn dough out onto prepared baking sheet and pat into an 8-inch circle. Score the dough into 8 wedge-shaped pieces using a butter knife. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over dough.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 18 to 20 minutes.

Step 5

While scones are baking, whisk confectioner's sugar and water together in a small liquid measuring cup. Drizzle over warm scones before serving.
