Banana Nutella Scones
 |
My husband has been working out of state for the past 5 months (more on that another day), but he’s finally back home with us.
It’s nice.
It’s wonderful.
It’s a lot of work.
You see, the husband likes breakfast. He thinks it’s, like, a requirement or something. He’s so weird.
The kids are happy with cold cereal, I’m happy with stuffing. What is his problem?
Anyway, to welcome him back home, I made him these scones for breakfast.
I might just start making breakfast more often. These were divine. There are plenty of chunks of banana scattered throughout these and those keep the scones nice and moist. Drizzle on some Nutella and you’ve got breakfast.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour - I used white whole wheat, all-purpose would work fine
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 6 tablespoons butter, cold and cut into small chunks
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 large banana, diced
- 1/2 cup Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the butter.
- Add the cream and vanilla to the dry mixture and stir until the mixture begins to come together. Stir in the banana and continue working the dough until it comes together. Add another tablespoon or two of cream if needed.
- Pat the dough out into a disk about 1 inch thick. Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into 8 triangles. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until lightly browned on the bottom and done through the middle.
- Allow to cool for about 10 minutes on a wire rack.
- Place the Nutella in a microwave safe dish and heat until just soft enough to drizzle over the scones. Place in a piping bag or just use a spoon to drizzle on top of the scones.
- Enjoy!

Totally drooling over this recipe, and I am pretty psyched that I have all the ingredients on hand in my kitchen. I know what I’ll be baking this weekend!
Haha husbands are weird. Not that I would know. but I’ve heard stories. I’m pretty sure these scones would make a great anytime meal. especially with that nutella drizzle!
Wow, these look wonderful Karly! I bet I could get my non-scone-loving husband to love them if I made these. What a delicious and decadent breakfast. Thanks for sharing!
They look so delicious!
My husband likes his breakfast too, he’d eat that and nothing else the rest of the day…which stinks for me, because I am NOT a morning person! And I am not big on breakfast, ugh! I am glad your hubby is home! I have a great breakfast casserole on my blog that will help you with breakfast while your hubby is back…you make it the night before! Enjoy your weekend!
Those look awesome! I love nutella and banana together.
Ah… but I am a breakfast person too, maybe even more then my hubby who doesn’t really care a long as he has a coffee, but I cannot start my day without a proper breakfast! And these scones are just too good!
bananas in scones? never ever ever have i seen that. nutella is a great thing to stick with those nanners, karly–excellent work.
Wonderful idea for breakfast!
wow, this looks amazing! i’m so gonna test this out on a weekend… thank you, bookmarking, great recipe.
is there a better combination than banana and nutella? no? I didn’t think so.
Looks delicious! However I don’t have ground ginger, I wonder if I can leave it out. We’ll see how the scones turns out when I make them!
Awesome! I made these this afternoon and the kids love them. I used 1/2 all-purpose flour & 1/2 whole wheat flour and they turned out great.
