Ingredients
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 1 cup(s) whole wheat flour (or substitute with ¾ cup whole wheat flour + ¼ cup all-purpose flour for a lighter dough; use gluten-free all-purpose flour if preferred)
  • 3 tablespoon(s) chopped almonds

Instructions
  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix the Dough: In a medium bowl, mash the banana with a fork until smooth. Add the flour(s), almonds, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, stirring to combine. Mix in the melted coconut oil, plant-based milk, maple syrup (or agave), and optional vanilla or almond extract. Stir until a dough forms. If the dough feels sticky, add a small amount of flour; if it’s too dry, add a splash of plant-based milk.
  • Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten it into a round disc about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Use a knife to cut it into 4 equal pieces and gently separate them.
  • Bake the Scones: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  • Cool and Serve: Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
