Banana Bread Biscuits

Course: Breakfast
Keyword: Banana Bread, Biscuit, Bread

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup sugar (optional—skip if you want them less sweet)
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (optional, but cozy)
  • ½ cup cold butter, cubed
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • ¼ cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tsp vinegar/lemon juice stirred in)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and
  • cinnamon.
  • Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture looks crumbly (like
  • coarse crumbs).
  • In a separate bowl, mash bananas and stir in buttermilk + vanilla.
  • Pour the banana mixture into the flour mixture. Gently fold until just combined—don’t
  • overmix!
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch-thick round. Cut with a
  • biscuit cutter (or a floured glass) and place on baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown on top.
  • Optional glaze (if you want a sweeter vibe):
  • Whisk ½ cup powdered sugar with 1–2 tsp milk and drizzle over warm biscuits.

Notes

Banana Bread Biscuits 🍌✨
Think of these as the happy middle ground between banana bread and a soft, fluffy biscuit.
Perfect with butter, honey, or a drizzle of glaze.
