Banana is one of my favourite baking ingredients. Its moisture and binding properties allow you to eliminate the eggs in a recipe, and the aroma is amazing. But keep in mind that banana influences the taste of the mixture it’s added to, often resulting in “Banana [fill in name of your treat here].”
The chopped dates in these scones provide a flavourful and vibrant surprise to bite into. Not overly sweet, these make a great addition to picnic baskets and a lovely mid-afternoon treat.
