  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Mix both flours, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until dough is loose and crumbly. Add bananas and cut in with the pastry blender. Stir in milk and eggs until just combined; dough will be sticky but should come together into a ball.
  • Divide dough in half. Form each portion into a mound on one half of the prepared baking sheet, then pat to flatten into a 3/4- to 1-inch high circle. Use a sharp knife to score each circle into 8 wedges, cutting about 1/3-inch deep.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from the oven and break scones apart at the score lines.
