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