Banana Nut Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 cup oatmeal, preferably large flake but quick oats will work
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup whole wheat flour
    1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed (optional)
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 tablespoon oil
    1 banana, ripe, mashed
    1/4 cup cinnamon baking chips
    1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/3 cup milk (or more, if necessary)
    turbinado sugar or demerara sugar, for sprinkling on top
    oats, for sprinkling on top
Preparation
    Heat oven to 400.
    Mix dry ingredients together (oatmeal, flours, baking powder, cinnamon). Stir oil into dry ingredients well. Add cinnamon chips and walnuts and stir. In a clear measuring cup, add mashed banana, milk to 3/4 cup (banana plus milk should equal 3/4 cup), and vanilla. Combine wet and dry ingredients; stir until the dry ingredients are damp.
    Drop dough onto parchment paper lined or greased baking sheet, and form into a 5\" diameter circle. Cut into four triangles - it's ok to leave them in a circle. Sprinkle with oats and sugar.
    Bake at 400 for 20 minutes, until lightly browned.
