Ingredients

• Dough:
• 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 large bananas)
• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup warm milk (about 110°F/43°C)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 large egg
• Filling:
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• Icing:
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2–3 tbsp milk

Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of granulated sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

Add mashed bananas, melted butter, egg, granulated sugar, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually mix in the flour until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 5

Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 14 x 9 inches/35 x 23 cm).

Step 6

Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.

Step 7

Starting from the longer side, roll up the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 9 equal rolls.

Step 8

Place the rolls in a greased 9-inch (23 cm) square or round baking dish. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes while you preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 9

Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

While rolls cool slightly, whisk together powdered sugar and milk to make a smooth icing. Drizzle over the warm rolls before serving.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Ensure your milk is warm but not hot, as temperature around 110°F/43°C is ideal for activating yeast. Using very ripe bananas with brown spots will provide the best flavor and sweetness for the dough.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For extra crunch and flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the cinnamon-sugar filling. If you prefer a richer, tangier topping, try using cream cheese in place of some of the milk when making the icing.

Serviervorschläge

These rolls are best served warm for the ultimate texture. They pair beautifully with a fresh cup of coffee or a warm chai tea, making them a centerpiece for any breakfast table.

Merken

Treat yourself to the delightful fusion of banana bread and cinnamon rolls. Whether you share them with family or enjoy them as a personal treat, these rolls are sure to become a favorite in your baking repertoire.
