An incredibly rich and decadent bananas foster scones recipe that you will want for breakfast and dessert. These moist banana scones will be a new favorite
Scones are another one of those recipes I can never get enough of.... there are so many good scones out there and they do not get the love they deserve. These aren't those dry, rock-hard scones you hear so much about. No, these scones are soft, moist, and full of delicious banana flavor. And butter. And booze. So you know it's fuh-reaking amazing.
I wanted to do something a little different from your regular ol' banana bread or banana scone. And I never had bananas foster before, so I thought this would be an awesome way to make something a little different and also get a taste of something entirely new to me. I am so glad I did it. Did I mention how moist these bananas foster scones are? Okay, I know I did, but I have to mention it again because these are just so soft and moist, you don't even know. It's because we use roasted bananas here. You can use really ripe bananas too, but I like the flavors that come out when the bananas are roasted, and it also helps break down the banana more which helps add to the moistness.
The best part of these bananas foster scones, however, is the glaze. I used the sauce for bananas foster and added a bit of powdered sugar to make it a seriously addictive glaze. I couldn't stop sneaking a small spoonful here and there.

I totally agree with you about scones. Just last week I made a scone bread and Alex and I could NOT stop eating it. We were watching a movie and next thing you know there's only 1/4 of the loaf left. Had we these scones in front of us, I'm sure it would've been the same story!
Allie says
Yum! This recipe sounds awesome
Cookin Canuck says
Those scones look absolutely incredible! I'd be tempted to eat that frosting off the spoon.
Alisa @ Go Dairy Free says
This recipe is just too brilliant and too enticing! Pinning it to try later!
heather @french press says
I'm with you on the scones, they do get a bad rap, and I am loving the bananas foster thing you ave going on. These would be a great addition to my morning coffee
Amanda says
Yes, these would go great with some coffee!!
Kristina says
I need to try these, I love a good scone, and bananas foster is one of my favorites!
Amanda says
You will not be disappointed with these babies. Definitely my favorite scone to-date!
Martha @ A Family Feast says
I adore bananas foster - and I love that you've put that wonderful flavor into a scone! Genius!
Christina @ Bake with Christina says
Ooo those scones look so heavenly! I've never had a banana foster flavored scone, but they sound and look SO delicious!! š
pam (Sidewalk Shoes) says
I can't believe I've never made scones!
Ashley @ Big Flavors from a Tiny Kitchen says
OMG whyyyyy have I not been adding more booze to my scones?! These look fantastic!!
Amanda says
Booze in scones is a must at least once or twice in your life!
Katie @ Butterlust says
LOVE me some breakfast with booze! Especially when it involves boozy baked goods instead of a mimosa (because then I just want to take a nap)! I'm baking with bananas in the morning -- we must be on the same wavelength this week! XO
Laura @MotherWouldKnow says
I am a total scone junkie, so these are right up my alley. But banana liqueur? That's so over the top that I'd seriously have to consider doubling the glaze recipe just so I could eat spoonfuls of it.
Amanda says
Haha, Well these scones won't disappoint! (Btw, I may have cleaned out the measuring cups used to make the glaze with my fingers just to get every last drop.)
Medha @ Whisk & Shout says
Scones are addicting! The lovely banana flavor adds that incomparable natural sweetness and it reminds me of more sophisticated banana bread š
Amanda | The Cinnamon Scrolls says
Scones are the best! I'm so sad they don't get enough love. I'm sure you'll be bringing back the scone tenfold with these babies! They look fantastic. Also, if you could ship me a keg of that glaze, that'd be great, thanks.
Amanda says
I adore scones. What I love is that these are Sooo flavorful and moist, you don't feel like you are eating a regular ol scone at all. (Ps: I totally went overboard licking up drips of the glaze)
Thalia @ butter and brioche says
I've never tried a banana foster before.. so I can't imagine what these scones would taste like. But they do look delicious Amanda!
Amanda says
Thank you! They are quite delicious and has a nice balanced mix of roasted banana, spice, and strong notes of caramel. I think you would enjoy it!
Holly says
Instead of putting the bananas in the oven to brown can I just use very ripe bananas?
Amanda says
You can! It just won't have the same depth of flavor as the roasted bananas, but still very, very tasty!!
Holly says
Oh, ok, that makes sense! Thanks for getting back to me!
Amanda says
No problem! Let me know how they turn out for you!!
Nicole ~ Cooking for Keeps says
I was JUST writing down bananas foster dessert ideas and saw this -- oh my gosh, speaking to my heart! I would never ever have thought to turn the flavors into a scone. SO in love!
Spencer says
So I just made these scones and they came out super dry and cakey. I followed the recipe precisely but it seemed like here was not enough liquid or moisture to the dough. Can you recommend an adjustment?
Amanda says
It could be that the size of your bananas were smaller than the ones I tested with. You can add heavy cream or whole milk to the mixture to moisten it. I would add a tablespoon at a time until your dough is a nice, workable consistency.
Kim says
Delicious! Even without the frosting. Will be making this one again!
Amanda Powell says
Iām glad you enjoyed it!!
