Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon nutmeg until well combined.
- In a larger bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas until smooth, then add ½ cup of milk and ½ cup of vanilla Greek yogurt. Stir these ingredients together until fully combined.
- Slowly add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, folding gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and form it into an 8-inch round, about 1-inch thick. Wrap it in plastic wrap or parchment paper and place it in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- After chilling, remove the dough from the freezer and cut it into 8 wedges. Arrange the wedges on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with an egg wash.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes until the scones are lightly browned.
- While the scones cool, prepare the cinnamon cream cheese glaze by whisking together 4 oz cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, ½ teaspoon vanilla, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon until smooth.
- Once the scones are completely cool, drizzle the cinnamon cream cheese glaze over the tops.

Notes
Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture. Use cold butter for flakiness. Store unglazed scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
