Ingredients
  

For the Scones:
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (ground)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (ground)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter (cold, cut into cubes)
  • 2 bananas ripe, mashed
  • ½ cup skim milk
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • ½ cup strong brewed coffee
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons skim milk (for brushing over the scones)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons coffee (brewed) for the glaze
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract for the glaze

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Pastry cutter or fork
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Oven
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

Stepwise Method:
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Add the skim milk, maple syrup, strong brewed coffee, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Gently fold until just combined.
  6. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Pat into a circle about 1-inch thick and cut into wedges or shapes.
  7. Brush the tops with skim milk and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. While baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, brewed coffee, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  10. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and drizzle the coffee glaze over the warm scones.
