How to Make Banana Bran Scones Cooking Light
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly spoon 2 cups all-purpose flour (or white wheat flour) into a dry measuring cup and level with a knife.
- Combine the flour, 1/4 cup bran cereal, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a medium bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas with 1/4 cup packed brown sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Add the dry ingredients and 1/4 cup milk (or buttermilk) alternately to the banana mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just moistened. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for 1 1/2 minutes.
- Pat the dough into a 6-inch circle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cut the dough into 8 wedges, cutting into, but not through, the dough.
- Brush the scones with 1 1/2 teaspoons milk (or buttermilk).
- Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (or cinnamon sugar, turbinado sugar, or a combination).
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the baking sheet and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
