Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup warm milk
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 large egg
  • 2/3 cup mashed bananas (about 2 ripe bananas)
  • 5 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 10 tbsp unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • Additional sliced bananas for filling
  • Cream cheese icing ingredients (cream cheese, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by combining warm milk with sugar and yeast; let it sit until bubbly.
  2. In another bowl, mix mashed bananas and beaten egg; add to yeast mixture once ready.
  3. Gradually incorporate flour, salt, and remaining sugar until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Let the dough rise in a greased bowl covered with a towel for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle; spread softened butter and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  7. Add sliced bananas before rolling tightly into a log shape; cut into even pieces.
  8. Place rolls in a baking dish to rise again for about 30-45 minutes.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Prepare the cream cheese icing while rolls cool slightly; drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
