How to Make Banana Chocolate Chip Scones

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup plain yogurt (or sour cream), 1 large egg yolk, and 2 ripe mashed bananas.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients along with 1 cup chocolate chips. Gently mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently just until it comes together.
  7. Grease a baking sheet.
  8. Place the dough in the center of the baking sheet and pat it into a 2 ½-inch-high disk.
  9. Cut the dough in half, then cut each half in half again to make 4 pieces. Repeat to make 8 triangles.
  10. Gently pull the triangles apart so they are not touching too much to allow for better crust formation.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
  13. **Chocolate Glaze:** Melt ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon milk in a double boiler or microwave. Drizzle over cooled scones. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips.
  14. **Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting:** Melt ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips with ¼ cup heavy cream. Let cool to room temperature. Beat 4 ounces cream cheese until smooth; then stir in the cooled chocolate mixture. Serve alongside the scones.
