Making the Scones
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Cut in the cold unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth, then add the milk and vanilla Greek yogurt, stirring until combined.
- Gradually incorporate the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
- Lightly knead the dough a few times on a floured surface to bring it together, then shape it into an 8-inch circle approximately 1-inch thick.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
- While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Remove the dough from the freezer and cut it into 8 wedges using a sharp knife.
- Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking pan, ensuring there's space between each for even baking.
- Brush the tops lightly with a beaten egg to create a golden glaze on your scones.
- Bake the scones for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown.
Making the Glaze
- In a medium bowl, blend softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla bean paste until smooth and creamy.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if you prefer a thinner glaze.
- Once the scones are cooled, drizzle the creamy cinnamon glaze generously over each one.

Notes
For best freshness, store unglazed scones at room temperature for up to 4 days, or refrigerate glazed scones to maintain that creamy finish.
