Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 23 tbsp milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Roll dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
  6. Spread mashed bananas over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  7. Roll up the dough tightly and cut into 12 equal rolls.
  8. Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour heavy cream over the rolls before baking.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  11. Whisk powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and milk to make the glaze.
  12. Drizzle glaze over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor.
  • Pouring heavy cream over the rolls makes them extra soft and gooey.
  • These rolls are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated.
