I confess, I initially wanted to make muffins this evening. But as soon as these adorable little bites took shape, I decided to just go with it. No added fat and lots of fruit make these a healthy treat you won't be able to resist!
And here's how you make 'em:
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
Mash up 1 banana with 1/3 cup lightly packed brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp grated ginger, and 6 Tbsp almond milk. Whisk until the mixture is creamy. A few little banana lumps are okay. Dice up one average-sized pear and mix it in. Add 1 egg replacer and mix well.
Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl: 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/8 tsp salt.
Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients, and stir in at least 1/3 cup chopped walnuts (use your discretion and don't be shy about adding more!)
Spread the dough out until it's about 1/2" thick. Use a small cookie cutter or drinking glass, about 2" diameter, to cut out mini-scones. Spread out on a baking sheet and bake for about 8 minutes.
If the bottoms of the scones are starting to brown and you're worried about them burning, you can flip the scones upside-down and keep baking. They'll hold their shape and have a nice golden brown color all over.
Enjoy with a cup of tea or a little peanut butter.
