Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm milk
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons softened butter for filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter for frosting
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together warm milk, mashed bananas, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for about 60-90 minutes or until doubled in size.
  6. Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Spread softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  8. Roll the dough tightly from the long end to create a log.
  9. Using a sharp knife or dental floss, cut the log into 9 equal pieces.
  10. Cover and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  11. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  12. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  13. While rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting by beating together softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  14. Spread the frosting generously over the warm cinnamon rolls as soon as they come out of the oven.
  15. Serve warm and enjoy every moment of your creations!
