Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls

by

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed

For the Cinnamon Filling:

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk (to thin)

Directions:

  1. Make the Dough: In a small bowl, whisk together warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, egg, and mashed banana. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
  4. Assemble the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (about 12×15 inches). Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough. Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 equal rolls.
  5. Place the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Make the Cream Cheese Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to achieve a smooth, drizzling consistency.
  8. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls before serving.
