Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2–3 bananas)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk, warmed to about 110°F
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened (for icing)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for icing)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Add warm milk (around 110°F), 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and yeast in a mixing bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together mashed bananas, melted butter, and eggs. Stir in the yeast mixture, then add flour and salt, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Lightly knead the dough in the bowl for 1-2 minutes, then grease another bowl and let the dough rise covered for about 1 hour until it doubles in size.
  4. For the filling, mix softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl.
  5. Roll out the dough into an 18×12 inch rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
  6. Spread the cinnamon filling over the dough, roll tightly from one edge, and cut into 12 equal slices.
  7. Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  9. For the icing, beat together softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  10. Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle with cream cheese icing and serve warm.
