Equipment

  • Large baking tray

  • Large bowl

  • Sieve

  • Mixing spoon

  • Fork

Ingredients

  • For the scones:

  • 2 large bananas, mashed

  • 60g natural yoghurt

  • 100g Gem soft light brown sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 310g Gem plain flour

  • 2½ tsp Gem baking powder

  • 2 tsp cinnamon

  • 70g butter

  • 125g Gem chopped walnuts

  • For the maple icing glaze:

  • 35g unsalted butter

  • 85ml maple syrup

  • 115g Gem icing sugar, sieved

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 200 ̊C/180 ̊C fan/gas mark 6.
Line a large baking tray with non- stick parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, yoghurt, brown sugar, egg and vanilla.
Set aside.
3
In a separate large bowl, sieve together the plain flour, baking powder and cinnamon.
Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
4
Add the wet ingredients and walnuts to the flour mixture and stir until it forms a soft dough.
5
Tip the dough out onto a floured surface. Give the dough a light knead and shape into a round ball.
6
Place the ball onto the prepared tray and roll out into a 20-25cm circle.
7
Bake for 30-35 minutes. To check if it is baked, turn it upside down and tap on the bottom. If it sounds hollow, then it is baked. Allow it to cool.
8
For the icing, stir the butter and maple syrup together in a pot over a low heat until the butter has melted. Remove from the heat and gradually stir in the icing sugar until it forms smooth icing.
9
Spoon the icing all over the scone, then use a sharp knife to cut into eight triangles.

Notes

If you want to make life a little easier, simply swap the maple butter glaze for Gem instant royal icing. You’ll find instructions on the back of pack.
