Chocolate chip banana bread scones that tastes exactly like banana bread yet still have the texture of a scone. These are literally the best scones I've ever made.
Combine the sour cream and baking soda in a small dish; set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, place the flour, white sugar, baking powder and salt. Put the cold butter cubes in and start the mixer on low.
Mix the flour and butter until the butter is cut in and breaks down to bits the size of small peas.
Mix together the egg, banana, vanilla and the sour cream mixture.
Spoon into the mixing bowl then mix on low speed until just moistened.
Add in the chocolate chips, stir until combined throughout the mixture thoroughly.
Divide the dough into three equal parts and form into circles. Cut each circle into 6 equal sized pieces.
Bake on a parchment lined baking sheet for 17-20 minutes until the scones are well browned on the bottoms and the tops.
Remove and cool slightly on a baking rack. Serve warm or cold plain or with butter.
