  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add milk and yogurt, whisking until blended.
  3. Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky.
  4. Shape the dough into an 8-inch disk on a floured surface and wrap in plastic wrap. Freeze for 15 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. After chilling, cut the dough into 8 wedges and place on the baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes until lightly browned. A toothpick should come out clean.
  8. Whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled scones.
  9. Allow the glaze to set before serving. Enjoy your Banana Bread Scones!
