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
  • 5 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 10 tbsp unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 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. Activate the yeast by warming milk to about 110℉ and mixing in the yeast; let sit until frothy (5-10 minutes).
  2. In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas, beaten egg, sugar, salt, and cubed butter. Add the yeast mixture and mix well.
  3. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5–7 minutes.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl and cover; let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  5. Roll out dough into a rectangle and spread softened butter over it. Sprinkle with brown sugar mixed with cinnamon and layer sliced bananas.
  6. Roll tightly from one end and slice into about 12 equal pieces. Place rolls in a greased baking pan.
  7. Let rolls rise again for about 30 minutes while preheating oven to 350℉. Bake for approximately 30 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Prepare icing by mixing cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
