Ingredients
•
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
•
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
•
1/4 cup white sugar
•
1 teaspoon baking powder
•
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
1/4 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into cubes
•
1/2 cup blueberries, cut in half if large
•
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
•
1 (6 ounce) container blueberry-flavored yogurt
•
1 large banana, mashed
•
1 tablespoon brown sugar
•
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
•
1 1/2 teaspoons water
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
2
Whisk both flours, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in blueberries and walnuts. Beat yogurt and banana in a small bowl until smooth; add to flour mixture and stir gently just until dough holds together.
3
Turn dough out onto prepared baking sheet and pat into an 8-inch circle. Score the dough into 8 wedge-shaped pieces using a butter knife. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over dough.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 18 to 20 minutes.
5
While scones are baking, whisk confectioner's sugar and water together in a small liquid measuring cup. Drizzle over warm scones before serving.
