Banana Choc Chip Scones

Can you image having mashed banana, enrich chocolate chips and basic scone to mix it altogether?

As you know mostly scones that are well-popular at the stores like: blueberry scones, cranberry orange scones, maple flavored scones and a few others.

But have you ever seen any banana scones at all? You have know that banana walnut, banana chocolate chip and plain banana breads are well popular and easy to make.

So why not to make it? I had adapted this recipe from someone who had broke the traditionally regarding about dried fruits vs mashing fruits. I decided to add cinnamon, nutmeg and chocolate chips instead of using ground ginger.

Here's the recipe:

1 cup all purpose flour

1 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon cinnamon

3 tablespoon cold butter, cut into cubes

5 tablespoon milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 whole banana, mashed

bunch of chocolate chips

Preheat oven at 400 degree. In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients except the chocolate chips. Put the cubes of butter into the dry ingredient and rub those ingredients and cubed butter altogether with your fingers until it becomes smoothly.

Mix milk and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Pour half of the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir until it comes together. Add the mashed banana and chocolate chips and fold it altogether. Pour rest of the milk mixture until the dough comes together.

Dust your counter with some flour (FYI the dough is very sticky) so you may want to put some flour so the dough can form well enough to cut into 4 equal sections. Don't use too much flour- just some of it.

Put it on your baking sheet (I spray it with cooking oil) and bake it at 400 degree for 17 to 20 minutes or until it becomes light gold (Also you can use a knife or toothpick to make sure it comes clean but will expect some melting chocolate on it).
