Chia Seed Banana Scones
The scone is a classic British breakfast pastry, now made in a healthy chia seed and banana version. The natural sweetness of the banana and the nutrient-rich composition of the chia seeds are a perfect combination to start an energetic day. HINT: Use the banana as ripe as possible, as it will be sweeter and easier to mash. Chia seeds help bind the moisture, making the scone more crumbly. This delicious, nutrient-rich pastry is ideal for breakfast or a healthy snack and pairs well with a cup of fresh ginger tea or plain yogurt.

Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and chia seeds.
3
Mash the bananas in a separate bowl until smooth. Add the coconut oil, almond milk, and honey.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you're looking for a soft dough.
5
On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough to about ¾ inch (2 cm) thickness. Cut into triangles or circles.
6
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
7
Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve fresh with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of yogurt.
