Whole Wheat Banana Chocolate Chip Scones

The original plan was to make vegetable lasagna for dinner tonight and then we got side tracked when we went to the store to get some vitamins. So when we got home, I was in a baking mood and wanted to use up the 3 extra ripe bananas we had and I was also in a bread type mood. So voila, we have scones, and boy are they yummy. They have just the right amount of sweetness to them, not too much, not too little. I really enjoy the taste of them, Ray hasnt tried them yet because he 'just brushed his teeth' go figure lol, but they shall make a nice breakfast for tomorrow :)
