Ingredients
Scale
- 3 overripe bananas
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ tsp)
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Mash bananas in a large bowl. Mix in warm milk and melted butter. Sprinkle yeast on top; let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Combine ingredients: Gradually add sifted flour, sugar, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes.
- Let it rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Make filling: Mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl; prepare melted butter separately.
- Shape rolls: Punch down risen dough and roll into a rectangle. Spread melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mix evenly. Roll tightly into a log shape and slice into equal pieces.
- Bake: Place sliced rolls in a greased baking dish, let them rise briefly while preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Make frosting: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
- Serve: Top warm rolls with cream cheese frosting before enjoying.
