Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 bananas)
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, mix mashed bananas, sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture.
  3. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms. Knead for 6–8 minutes by hand or with a dough hook until smooth.
  4. Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled.
  5. Punch down dough and roll into a 14×9-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Spread softened butter over dough. Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using), then sprinkle evenly over butter.
  6. Roll up tightly from the long side, then cut into 12 rolls.
  7. Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. While rolls bake, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt.
  10. Spread frosting over warm rolls and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the bananas are very ripe for the best flavor.
  • You can add nuts or chocolate chips for a twist.
