I love these Banana Scones with Peanut Butter Glaze because they are big, fluffy, and tender banana scones with a hint of cinnamon. I top them with a peanut butter glaze, which is one of the best additions to scones, if you ask me. This recipe for easy eggless scones is one you can whip up anytime, no eggs needed!
The bananas act as an egg replace in these Banana Scones with Peanut Butter Glaze. Bananas work wonderfully to replace eggs as they provide moisture and bring fluffiness to baked goods. Each bite of these scones offers the perfect balance of banana flavor, with hints of warmth from the cinnamon. The crowning glory is the luscious peanut butter glaze, which adds a creamy, nutty richness that complements the banana scones perfectly.
I use very ripe bananas for this recipe, blackened. If you have black bananas that you’ve found in your pantry, then these are the best banana scones to make with them! These easy eggless scones come together really quickly, making them a simple recipe to make for weekend brunch!

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
First step is to mix the dry ingredients together. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add the flour, light brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt and mix together.
Step 2
Grate the butter, using a large box grater, think pizza cheese size. Add the butter to the flour mixture, but don’t mix yet. Add the bananas and milk and mix on low to combine. I like to finish this step with my hands, as I think it’s easier.
Step 3
Form the dough into a disk that is about 7-inches in diameter. Place it on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut it into 6 triangle pieces (like a pie!) and separate them. Brush the tops of the scones with the heavy whipping cream. Place the baking sheet in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes.
Sep 4
Bake the scones until they are golden brown on the top and around the edges. Let them cool completely before glazing
Step 5
Make the glaze by adding the powdered sugar, peanut butter, and milk into a bowl and whisking until smooth. Using a butter knife of spatula, spread the glaze over the top of the scones.
FAQ's
No, if you prefer scones that are less sweet, then leaving the glaze off will give you an amazing banana scone!
Absolutely! If you want to substitute the peanut butter for almond butter or cashew butter, that is totally fine and would also be delicious!
Scones should be stored in a cool dry place. I leave mine out on the counter for a few days while we enjoy them. You don’t want to store cones in an airtight container as they will get soggy.
