Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup Milk (warmed to 110℉)
  • 2 1/4 tsp Active dry yeast
  • 1 Large egg (lightly beaten)
  • 2/3 cup Mashed bananas (approximately 2 bananas)
  • 5 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 cup White granulated sugar
  • 10 TBSP Unsalted butter (cubed)
  • 3/4 cup Brown sugar (packed light or dark)
  • 1 TBSP Ground cinnamon
  • 2 Bananas (sliced thinly)
  • 4 oz Cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 4 TBSP Unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk to about 110℉ and mix with active dry yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the frothy yeast mixture with the egg, mashed bananas, flour, salt, sugar, and butter. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl and cover to rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
  4. Prepare the filling by mixing brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
  5. Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread softened butter over it. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture and add sliced bananas evenly.
  6. Roll tightly from one end to another and slice into approximately 12 rolls. Place in a greased baking dish.
  7. Let rolls rise again for about 30-45 minutes while preheating the oven to 350℉.
  8. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  9. While baking, beat cream cheese and butter in a bowl; gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
  10. Drizzle cream cheese icing over warm rolls before serving.
