How to Make Banana Scones with Peanut Butter Glaze
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
Do I have to glaze these?
No, if you prefer scones that are less sweet, then leaving the glaze off will give you an amazing banana scone!
Can I use almond butter or cashew butter?
Absolutely! If you want to substitute the peanut butter for almond butter or cashew butter, that is totally fine and would also be delicious!
How should I store these scones?
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.

Why Organic
Why use organic ingredients in this recipe? You all know I’m a huge organic advocate, and I bet you may be thinking sometimes, Why would I even bother to use organic ingredients in something that is so sweet and indulgent? But, that is the exact reason why you should use organic ingredients! Sweet things need to have flavor in order to be good, otherwise they are just sweet and they don’t taste like much else. Organic ingredients are more pure than conventional ones, therefore they actually have more flavor than the non organic options. Say it with me, organic means more flavor! And not just more flavor but a more true and pure flavor. And organic ingredients are much healthier for you to eat in general as they do not contain GMOs or anything artificial. Plus, you are being environmentally friendly when you choose organic ingredients!
So, I highly recommend that you buy the best organic ingredients for this recipe! You can also shop my Amazon Storefront for all my favorite organic ingredients here. Tip – hover over each ingredient to see the name. And if you want to learn more about organic foods and the difference, read my post here on Food Labels and What They Mean.

Directions

- Using your hands, form the dough into a round disk that is about 7-inches in diameter. Using a sharp knife, cut into 6 triangle pieces like a pie. Separate the pieces so they are spaced evenly apart.
