Banana & Pecan Scones instructions
Preheat the oven to 420F/215C. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet. Bake for about 3 mins, then let cool for a few minutes and chop them..
In a bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 3/4ths of the chopped pecans, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Mix..
Cut the butter into very small pieces with a sharp knife and add to the flour mixture (use a fork if opting for coconut oil instead of butter)..
In another bowl, prepare the liquid part. Add mashed banana (should be about 3/4 cup), then add milk until you reach 1 full cup (so about 1/4 cup milk). Add maple syrup, vanilla extract and mix..
Pour the liquid mixture into the dry one and combine with a big spoon. Use your hands to knead the dough and make sure that all ingredients are well incorporated..
On a flat surface, form the dough into a circle (about 1 inch deep). Use a sharp knife to cut it into 8 even slices (like a pizza)..
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 17-20 minutes in 400F/200C..
Let the baked scones cool for at least 15 mins. In the meantime, combine the glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the scones and sprinkle it with the remaining chopped pecans (before the glaze dries)..
