Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients:
For the Dough:
- 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 (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the Filling:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
For the Cream Cheese Icing:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Activate the Yeast:
- In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and a pinch of the granulated sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the surface and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.
2. Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, remaining granulated sugar, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.
- Add the activated yeast mixture to the banana mixture and stir to combine.
- Gradually add the flour and salt, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
3. First Rise:
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
4. Make the Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
5. Roll Out the Dough:
- Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
6. Fill and Roll:
- Spread the prepared filling evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Starting from one long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
7. Slice and Arrange:
- Using a sharp knife or a piece of dental floss, slice the rolled dough into 12 equal-sized pieces.
- Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll.
8. Second Rise:
- Cover the baking dish with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the cinnamon rolls rise in a warm place for another 30-45 minutes, or until puffed and nearly doubled in size.
9. Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once preheated, bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
10. Make the Cream Cheese Icing:
- While the cinnamon rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese icing. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
11. Ice and Serve:
- Once the cinnamon rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Spread the cream cheese icing over the warm cinnamon rolls.
- Serve the Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls warm and enjoy the irresistible combination of banana, cinnamon, and cream cheese icing!
