Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Scones

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons heavy cream (divided)
  • 1 medium banana, mashed (about 1/3 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (for garnish)

For the Icing

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven
    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, kosher salt, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
  3. Add Butter
    Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the cold butter into the dry mixture until it resembles very coarse sand. It’s fine if small pea-sized butter pieces remain. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  4. Prepare the Wet Ingredients
    In a separate medium bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of heavy cream and the mashed banana until combined.
  5. Mix the Dough
    Create a well in the center of the dry mixture. Pour the cream-banana mixture into the well. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to gently mix the dough until it just comes together. The dough will be slightly dry but should hold together. Avoid over-mixing.
  6. Shape the Scones
    Lightly flour a clean surface and transfer the dough onto it. Form the dough into a disk approximately 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick. Using a knife or pizza cutter, divide the disk into 6 equal wedges.
  7. Prepare for Baking
    Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons of heavy cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  8. Bake
    Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Make the Icing
    While the scones are cooling, whisk together the melted butter, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and milk in a bowl until smooth.
  10. Finish and Serve
    Drizzle the icing over the scones and allow it to set. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Store the scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the icing.
  • These scones pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea.
