I'm always finding my self with bananas that are too ripe. These gluten-free banana scones with a simple glaze and caramel drizzle are a perfect way to use them up. A tender scone that pairs well with tea or coffee.

Brush the top of each wedge with 1 Tbsp of milk.
Bake 15-20 min or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the scones completely.
