These banana chocolate chip scones are a great way to use up bananas about to go bad.
Hannah doesn’t like bananas unless they are slightly green, or barely able to peel. Once they start to brown in the slightest way, she’s over it.
How to make perfect scones.
The secret to scones is to freeze the dough for at least 30 minutes. I got busy on my computer and these were in the freezer for an hour, but you’ll get clean knife cuts when you do that.
And the peanut butter glaze – #swoon! It makes these scones. Simply use Truvia in the scone batter, so the powdered sugar in the glaze gives just enough sweetness, and then you’ll get a bite of chocolate chip in every other bite. Love.
This is a shaggy dough. I made 16 mini scones. Divide the dough into two circles, and with wet hands, press the dough into a circle and freeze. Wetting your hands makes the dough not stick to your hands.
Banana Chocolate Chip Scones
These are the perfect sweet treat to start your day or snack on. If you love peanut butter, you'll love the peanut butter glaze!
Ingredients
- 2 2/3 cups self rising flour (regular flour is fine too)
- 1/3 cup Truvia
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons I Can't Believe It's Not Butter
- 1/2 cup oat milk (any milk works)
- 1 egg
- 2 ripe bananas
- 4 tablespoons no sugar added chocolate chips (I used Hu Brand)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 4 tablespoons PBFit Sugar Free (powdered peanut butter), divided
For the glaze:
- 2 tablespoons PB Fit
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons oat milk (or any milk) just enough to get to glaze consistency
Instructions
Heat oven to 425.
Add the flour, Truvia, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and 2 tablespoons PBFit in a large bowl. Toss in the chocolate chips and coat the flour mixture with the chips. Next, add the butter, oat milk, egg, banana and vanilla extract and whisk just until combined - it's okay if the bananas are a bit chunky.
Finally, the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Don't freak out on my if you think "the dough is too wet!" It will come together.
Divide dough in half and put dough on two separate parchment papers. Wet your hands and press the dough into a 6-7 inch circle. Place the parchment paper on a cookie sheet or plate and place in your refrigerator for 30-60 minutes. It will be so much easier to cut.
Cut each circle into 8 scones. I baked 8 at a time, so keep the second dough in the freezer until ready to bake. For a soft scone bake 9 minutes, for a bit of a crust, bake 11 minutes.
Mix the PB2, powdered sugar and oat milk together to make the glaze. Once the scones are completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the scones. I had enough glaze for 15 scones - one lonely scone didn't get a glaze, but I was too lazy to make more. 😛

See that clean knife cut? Don’t skip the freezer part. Unless you are in a hurry, then you can make drop scones.

I hope you love these banana chocolate chip scones as much as I do!
Stay safe everyone – make it a great day – hugs!
Just mixed these scones and they are chillin’. My question is as I am loading the recipe into WW recipe builder I am not certain I used the right sugar or sweetener I should say. Are you using the Truvia baking blend or just regular Truvia which is the concentrated sweetener thoughyou can buy it in bulk. I used the more concentrated version so I’m wondering if it’s going to be super sweet though I love sweet things!!😳😋 cathy
Hi Cathy! It really doesn’t matter what you put in, because its zero calorie sweetener – so as long as you pick something that has zero calories, you are good!
Happy Thursday!
Where are the WW points for the recipes in your skinny dough book please? I ordered today
Morning! Sorry, my web designer is going to be putting the link on my front page, but here it is:
/my-bizzy-kitchen-skinny-pizza-dough-edition/
Thank you for your support!
Thank you for sharing. I just stumbled across your pizza recipe and gonna make one tomorrow. AWESOME👏👏👏
Yeah! So excited!
I finally made these and OMG, so good! I did forget the egg completely, but frankly, they didn’t need it. I baked them per directions on a silicone mat, but left them in the oven fifteen minutes, giving them a nice golden brown color and crunchy exterior. Delicious! Thanks for a great recipe!
Thank you for sharing Dee! Glad you loved them!
Just put the batter in the fridge!! So far they look AMAZING. I’m on WW Blue Plan, what I did was made 12 scones instead and I calculated and each scone will be 3sp on team Blue!! Thanks Biz!!!
So awesome!
DEF MAKING THESE!!!! I’m a PB and banana LOVER!!!
Yeah! So good – Thanks Lindsea!
But I’m guessing it would be the same number of points on team blue as purple, as there aren’t any zero point purple foods that wouldn’t also be zero on blue. That egg counts two points on green, so divided over 16 scones adds hardly pints per serving. Maybe add one point?
I love your thinking! I wouldn’t count the eggs over 16 scones either!
Thank you for posting this Biz…this is getting made…pronto!
Yeah! I hope you enjoyed them!
Trying to carve out some time today to make these before work..(still working unfortunately) and I notice you have the PBFit listed twice…did you include some with the dough and also the glaze?
Dang – good catch – yes I added 2 tablespoons to the dry mix too – sorry, I’ll fix it 😀
Thanks Biz! I will make them tomorrow. By the way…your tee shirt on your Instagram post cracked me up!!!
These are awesome! Made the dough Friday before work and froze…baked half Sunday (I did 8 larger scones) and we all enjoyed them. Thank you!
Definitely making this! Still haven’t tried truvia yet
What?!
Hi Biz. I’m on Blue and ran this through the recipe builder and came up with 3 points on Blue. Apparently Truvia has points on Blue, so you might be able to get it down using a different (0 point) sugar replacement. As always, thanks for all your great recipes.
Thank you so much Mary for checking that out for me. It’s weird because my Truvia package says 0 calories per serving, maybe into 1/3 cup it adds up?!
