Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas

- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mash ripe bananas in a large bowl. Mix in melted butter and brown sugar until well combined. Activate yeast by dissolving it in warm water until frothy.
- Add flour, salt, and cinnamon to the banana mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm area for about an hour or until doubled.
- Punch down the dough and roll out to a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread softened butter over the surface, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll tightly into a log shape and slice into even pieces.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange rolls in a greased baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- While baking, prepare frosting by mixing softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once cool, drizzle rolls with frosting before serving.
