Instructions
- Warm your milk until it’s just lukewarm. About 120 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit is perfect.
- In a big bowl, whisk together the warm milk, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
- Add in the mashed banana and 6 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir gently.
- Gradually sprinkle in 4 ½ cups of flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Add up to 5 cups if sticky.
- Turn the dough onto a floured board and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 60 minutes.
- Roll dough into a rectangle, spread with soft butter, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly.
- Roll dough into a log and slice into 12 rolls. Place in greased pan, cover, and let rise 30 minutes.
- Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
- Use quick release to keep rolls soft.
- Warm butter by softening in microwave for spreading.
- To speed dough rising, place near warm sunny spot.
- Spoon flour instead of scooping to avoid stiff dough.
- If dough is sticky, add flour a little at a time while kneading.
- Optionally add nuts or chocolate chips before rolling dough.
Notes
Serve your banana bread cinnamon rolls warm with creamy cream cheese frosting. Store wrapped in plastic wrap or foil in fridge for 3-4 days. Freeze individually wrapped rolls for longer storage.
