Peanut Butter Banana Scones
The combination of peanut butter and banana is one of the most popular flavor pairings, now embodied in a soft, crumbly scone. Peanut butter adds a rich and creamy texture, while the natural sweetness of banana makes this pastry perfect. TIP: If you crave a more chocolatey flavor, you can add chopped dark chocolate to the dough. To maintain the scone's softness, do not overmix the dough! This peanut butter banana scone is an excellent choice with a cup of coffee or cocoa, and is perfect as a breakfast or an afternoon treat.
