Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400º
  • Combine the banana, yogurt and sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and then add the banana mixture. Stir just until combined. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Sprinkle the surface with the mini chocolate chips and knead them into the dough using extra flour to keep the dough from sticking. Pat the dough into a 9 inch circle and cut into 8 wedges. Place wedges onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  • Cool scones on a wire rack.
