I had overripe bananas and a craving for cinnamon rolls—so I mashed them together into one unforgettable bake. These Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls are soft, fluffy, and packed with warm banana flavor, swirled with cinnamon sugar and topped with sweet glaze. It’s the perfect cozy combo for breakfast, brunch, or just because!
Dough:
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2)
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
¼ cup sugar
2¼ tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
¼ cup warm milk
3 tbsp melted butter
½ tsp salt
Filling:
¼ cup softened butter
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
Glaze:
½ cup powdered sugar
1–2 tbsp milk
½ tsp vanilla extract
In a bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit 5 mins. Mix in mashed bananas, egg, sugar, butter, and salt.
Add flour gradually and knead into a soft dough. Let rise 1 hour or until doubled.
Roll dough into a rectangle. Spread with butter, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll up tightly and cut into 8–10 rolls. Place in a greased baking dish.
Let rise again for 30 mins. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden.
Whisk glaze ingredients and drizzle over warm rolls.
