Banana Blueberry Scones and a simple scone with a hint of banana flavor and bursting with blueberries. These simple scones are the perfect grab-and-go breakfast or snack when you are in a hurry.
Not only do I love eating scones, but I love making them just as much. My family also loves eating scones as much as I do. I love the little joys in life and scone is one of them.
I like using blueberries in scones, I seem to do that a lot. For this scone, the banana gives a scone a touch of the banana flavor it’s not overpowering. The banana and the blueberry combination works well.
Helpful Tips:
- As for scones, you will want the butter to be cold for this recipe. Make sure to cut the butter into small pieces, it will make it easier to work into the flour mixture.
- Don’t worry if your banana is overripe. The riper the banana the more flavorful the scones will be.
- The dough for this recipe is a little crumbly. Place the dough on a floured surface and gently press the dough to make a circle.
- The best way to cut the scones into wedges is by using a pizza cutter. It makes the process of cutting the wedges super simple
- These scones are baked for 20 to 25 minutes, but the best way to know when they are done is when the edges of the scones start to turn lightly brown.
- It is best to eat the scones when they are fresh, but if you are not able to eat all of them, they do freeze well. Make sure to use an airtight container.

Hi Dawn, I made my favorite scones twice last week – first for our selves, the second time served them to my colleques at the work … That is, Your Buttermilk-Blueberry Scones with Lemon Glace!
I look forward of trying this recipe with banana – yum!
Gosh, it’s been so long since we’ve made scones! Love the idea of blueberries in them – they’re one of my favorite fruits, and so healthy. These look wonderful! Good stuff – thanks.
Blueberry scones are my favorite! I love that you added banana to these.
Love homemade scones and these look delicious. Blueberry and banana is an interesting combination of flavors!
This is not a good recipe. The mixture is dry and hard to work with. No eggs? No milk or cream? Nhsve madr scones all m adult life and this is the worst. TheyTasted extremely dry.
Sorry but I give this an F in the grading system.
Jill, I am so sorry to hear that. Usually, I get praised for my scone recipes, I am sorry I let you down!
EXCELLENT!! So moist and yummy! I’ve never made them or even liked them before! Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Lisa, I am so happy that you liked the recipe. Thank you for stopping by!!
Your scones always look so good! And this is a terrific flavor combo — who can resist blueberries? Or bananas, for that matter. Really nice — thanks.
