How to Make Brown Sugar Banana Scones

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and egg whites.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients along with the mashed bananas. Stir gently until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 9-inch circle.
  7. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with the chopped pecans and remaining 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
  8. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 12 wedges, cutting about halfway through the scones.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
  10. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm. Enjoy!
