These lightened-up banana chocolate chunk scones are unbelievably flaky and moist thanks to greek yogurt and they’re so amazing with your morning coffee!
So clearly I’m kinda a scone person. Did my overflowing scone archives give you any clue?
Clearly every new scone recipe I share is my new favorite. And today’s banana chocolate chunk scones are definitely not an exception.
The I-wanna-eat-them-all-right-here-and-now mindset is definitely kicking in though, I will say that.
Don’t send help? Kthanks.
Ready for your latest scone addiction to add to the gotta-have list? It’s quite honestly the breakfast bomb. My coffee confirms that it’s the best sidekick yet.
Yes…I’m the cliche eats-a-scone-or-5-with-her-coffee-person. Don’t hate me.
Just…eat tons of banana chocolate chunk scones with me so you’ll understand? Cool.
And honestly, you CAN eat tons and I’d highly encourage it. Greek yogurt keeps these scones on the SUPER-light side but the flavor and flaky goodness is definitely still there.
Along with bazillions of chocolate chunks. Like literally.
You’re like literally gonna eat all of these but this is a problem…how? ♥

I’ve been looking for some recipes to celebrate our Easter. Once again you spring my mind and I’m sure that my kid will love it. But I’m still looking forward to your new recipe. Thank you Sarah!

These scones are absolutely delish!!!!😋 I’ve made them several times now and adapted the recipe with using Flora Proactive and adding sunflower and pumpkin seeds, chopped brazil nuts, chopped dates and figs, chocolate buttons and dessicated coconut. I also put a tablespoon of ground almonds in which keeps them extra moist. They are delicious just plain too. Whatever you add, as long as you stick to the basic recipe they come out lovely. They’re now a firm favourite with my family🥰.
