Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup milk
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 large eggs
• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter, cubed
• ⅔ cup brown sugar
• 2 medium bananas, cut into chunks

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

Step 2

Mix both flours, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until dough is loose and crumbly. Add bananas and cut in with the pastry blender. Stir in milk and eggs until just combined; dough will be sticky but should come together into a ball.

Step 3

Divide dough in half. Form each portion into a mound on one half of the prepared baking sheet, then pat to flatten into a 3/4- to 1-inch high circle. Use a sharp knife to score each circle into 8 wedges, cutting about 1/3-inch deep.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from the oven and break scones apart at the score lines.
