Low Fat Banana Scones Recipe
These soft and moist low-fat banana scones are made without any butter, oil, or shortening, and are sweetened with a little bit of brown sugar, the main sweetness comes from the ripped mashed bananas. The fat-free plain yogurt adds flavor and moisture to these homemade low-fat banana scones, while the combination of all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon creates a light and fluffy texture that is irresistible.
