Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and brown sugar.
- Cut the cold cubed unsalted butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, mash ripe bananas and combine with heavy cream, vanilla extract, and beaten egg.
- Gently fold the wet banana mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined cookie sheet, shaping it into a 7-inch circle about 1 inch thick.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and brush the shaped scones with heavy cream.
- Bake scones for 25 to 28 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow scones to cool on the sheet for 15 minutes before glazing.
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth, then mix in powdered sugar, milk, and a dash of cinnamon.
- Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the cooled banana scones.

Notes
For better texture, use very cold butter and avoid over-kneading the dough. Ripe bananas add sweetness and moisture.
