These scones remind me of banana walnut muffins and the wonderful smell of hot pancakes with maple syrup all rolled together. I could hardly wait for the scones to cool a bit to put the maple glaze on them.
Instead of racing around trying to find all the latest deals this weekend, I decided to make these. Did you hide from the crowds, or did you head out to get all your shopping done? I haven’t started shopping yet, guess I’ll have to start soon.

I never met a scone I couldn’t love. GREG

These look amazing! Can you use over-ripe bananas like you do with banana bread? I would love to have something else to do with the ones in my freezer!
Diane says
yes, this is great for over ripe bananas, mine were very ripe and they tasted great!

Tried these yesterday and I was not happy with the texture. They were very dense and heavy…Like eating a brick! I folded the wet ingredients into the dry as instructed. Then, kneaded it 5-6 times, as instructed, which I thought worked against folding the ingredients together. The batter was very wet and goey, which was difficult to knead without adding additional flour. Did I do something wrong or is this how they are intended to be.
Diane says
I’m not sure why yours were so dense. Maybe too much kneading. The dough only needs to come together enough to roll and cut into scone shapes. The banana can be sticky, and the texture will depend on how ripe your banana is. You can freeze the banana so the batter isn’t so sticky.

I love the hit of maple in here. These would be perfect to serve to my family when they’re visiting at Christmastime.
Jeanette says
What a smart way to use up ripe bananas – I’ve only used them in banana bread and muffins. Bet they make these scones extra moist.
Vanessa says

Kristen Anusewicz says
I must be doing something wrong. I had to add a lot more flour because my dough was so sticky and then they just tasted floury. Help! 🙂
Diane says
the dough was sticky, just use a scoop to divide it out without adding more flour next time.

nice
