1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons brown sugar

Preheat oven to 400°F Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and ginger. Cut butter into a few chunks and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingertips.
Mix milk and vanilla in a small glass. Pour about 4 tablespoons into the flour mixture and stir until the mixture starts to come together. Add the banana chunks and continue to stir, adding more milk if necessary, until dough comes together.
Pat dough into a disk about 1 inch thick. Cut into four sections with a knife and place each on baking sheet.
Bake at 400F for 17-20 minutes, until light gold.
Cool on wire rack or eat warm. These scones are best the day they are made.

perfectly delicious! I made a few changes, using gluten free flour and I used 2 medium sized bananas, so I added about 1/2 cup more of flour, they still turned out great!

This recipe was awful. I followed it, feeling suspicious about the low amount of flower compared to the high liquid ratio, and they turned out like soggy underbaked cookies. Will not make again.

Very quick to put together...I added chocolate chips and turned out fine.
