Banana Chocolate Chip Scones

Source: Tasty Kitchen
Servings: 12


2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoons salt
6 tablespoons cold butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
9 tablespoons milk
½ cups mini chocolate chips
1 whole banana

Preheat oven to 400F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, brown sugar and salt. Cut butter into small cubes and then blend into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter. Stir in vanilla and milk with a wooden spoon until dough begins to come together. Stir in chocolate chips. Cut the banana into small chunks; do not mash because it will add too much moisture to the scones. Mix in the chopped banana until just blended. Form the dough into a rectangle and then cut into triangles. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
