Pear scones: higher fiber, no added sugar

I like to take a traditional recipe with sugar and refined flour and revamp it into a healthier one. 

The recipe below for pear scones is my new baking experiment. 

It was a success. I could not believe how sweet it tasted without added sugar! One explanation is the the pears were ripe and sweet.

Pear scones

Ingredients
2.5 cups of whole wheat flour
4 tsp baking powder
3 ripe bananas (mashed)
1 tsp cinnamon
2 eggs
10 Tbsp butter at room temperature
3 ripe pears (not peeled, chopped into small pieces)
4-oz cup of unsweetened apple sauce

Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add the butter and mix with hands until the mixture resembles crumbs. Mash the bananas and add the eggs and apple sauce to them. Combine the flour and banana mixtures. Finally, add the pears and mix. Divide the dough into two batches and transfer each batch onto a greased cookie sheet. Shape into a circle with clean, wet hands. Press down to thickness of ¾ inches. Bake for about 20 minutes. Slice each circle into eight scones until warm. The recipe yields 16 scones.
