We’ve all heard the saying: it’s what’s inside that counts. With this recipe, it really applies! Not only are these scones made with nutty buckwheat and whole wheat pastry flours, a unique homemade banana jam is spread between dough layers before baking. The result is soft, flavorful scones that make a delightful nibble for breakfast, tea time or dessert.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In saucepan over medium heat, cook bananas, sugar and butter for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and salt. Let cool. (Note: Bananas will break down, but some smaller chunks will remain.)
