Banana Blue Berry Scones

I love blueberries, but they are usually too expensive to buy fresh at this time of the year. When looking through the grocery ads last week I saw that one of our local stores had them on sale. I made sure that they were on my shopping list.

I really wanted to make scones with them, but I also wanted something a little different. I found a recipe that paired banana with blueberries for a scone recipe. After seeing the recipe I decided that this was the recipe that I would try.

The scones had a hint of banana flavor, so it did not overpower the blueberries. It was an interesting combination of flavors; overall I would say that we enjoyed these scones.  But maybe next time I would use a little more mashed banana so the flavor would come through a little bit more.

What have you paired together for your scones? I would love to hear what your favorite scones are.
