Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup lukewarm milk (120-130°F)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ cup mashed banana (about 1 large banana)
  • 4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 2 large bananas (thinly sliced)
  • ¼ cup heavy cream (warmed)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, warm milk, butter, and sugar until melted. Remove from heat.
  2. In a stand mixer bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt. Add the milk mixture and mashed bananas; stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough using a dough hook for about 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Let the dough rise in a greased bowl covered until doubled in size (about 1 to 1½ hours).
  5. Roll out the dough into an 18×12 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
  6. Spread softened butter over the dough; sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and banana slices.
  7. Roll tightly into a log and cut into 12 equal rolls. Place in a greased baking dish spiral side up; let rise for another 45 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C. Pour warmed cream over rolls before baking; bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
  9. For frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth; gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla until fluffy.
  10. Ice warm rolls with cream cheese frosting.
