Yes, it's true. I have a banana buying addiction.

I can't just buy one bunch at a time. But of course, they all turn brown and spotty before I can eat all of them because I'm a green banana snob. Ripe bananas totally gross me out.

But...that just means I can be a crazy baker for a few days once they turn yellow and brown. If I can get to them before everyone else in the house that is.

Now that our oldest is home from college the bananas on the counter disappear at a much faster rate, so I have to be quick if I want to bake with them.

This past week we made these Loaded Banana Butterfinger Muffins and this Banana Split Cheesecake for us to enjoy. And I'm not tired of that yellow fruit yet.

I still have a few more bananas to use up in some recipes this week. Like I said I go crazy buying a bunch at a time. But for now, let's talk about these easy homemade scones.

You need them in your life because they taste like banana bread but in a traditional scone form. And of course, I threw toffee bits into the dough because ever since I made this Banana Toffee Cake I love the flavor of toffee bits with banana.

If you like nuts in your banana recipes, use walnuts or pecans in place of the toffee bits and enjoy some delicious banana nut scones.

Of course, once the banana scones were cool I got the great idea to add frosting to the top. I mean a layer of frosting and cinnamon sugar is never a bad idea, right?

Another great thing about this easy scones recipe is that you only need a bowl and a fork to create the dough. And if you love scones, try out these Salted Caramel Scones for a tasty treat.

How to make Banana Toffee Scones

Stir together the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the butter and use a fork to cut cold butter into the dry ingredients until you have a bunch of little butter pieces. Try to do this quickly so the butter doesn't get too warm.

The key to good scones is using cold butter and keeping your mixture cold too. These little bits of butter will melt as the scones bake creating delicious flakey scones.

Create a hole in the center of the ingredients in the bowl. Pour the heavy cream, banana, and vanilla into the center. Use the fork to pull all the ingredients together quickly until a soft dough forms.

Go ahead and refrigerate the dough for 30-45 minutes. Like I said, you want to keep the mixture as cold as possible to keep the dough from spreading as they bake.

Place the dough on a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper and pat it into an 8 inch circle that is about 1 inch thick. Again do this quickly so the heat of your hands doesn't warm up the dough.

Bake for about 24 minutes. Remove and let the scones cool for 5 minutes before cutting them into wedges.

Once the scones are cool, top with frosting and cinnamon sugar, if desired.
