Banana Chocolate Chip Scones

A yummy solution for one over-ripe banana sitting on the counter!

2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tbl baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup cold butter, cut in small pieces
3/4 cup cream
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 banana, cut in small pieces
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Coarse/Turbinado sugar for sprinkling

Preheat the oven to 400°. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat. In large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter. Add cream and vanilla; stir gently just until dough comes together. Gently fold in bananas and chocolate chips. Transfer dough to floured surface and knead dough gently a few times, until ball forms. Pat dough into 9″ circle, about 3/4-inch thick. Cut into 8 even wedges. Place wedges on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with a bit of cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Recipe from prettysimplesweet.com.
