Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup mashed banana
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix warm milk with yeast and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add melted butter, eggs, salt, and mashed banana. Mix well.
  3. Gradually add flour, stirring until the dough comes together. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Combine softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a bowl until well mixed.
  6. Roll out dough on a floured surface into a 20×14-inch rectangle.
  7. Spread the filling mixture evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts if desired.
  8. Roll up tightly from the long side. Cut into 12 rolls and place in a greased baking dish.
  9. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  11. While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing: Beat cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  12. Spread the icing over warm rolls immediately after removing them from the oven.
