How to Make Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure your rolls bake evenly.
  • Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Cream the mashed bananas with sugar and softened butter until smooth and fluffy.
  • Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well until blended.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl and whisk together.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle and spread melted butter on top.
  • Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
  • Tightly roll the dough from one end to the other to form a log and slice into pieces.
  • Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, giving each roll space to rise.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  • Mix powdered sugar and milk in a bowl until smooth and drizzle over warm rolls.

Notes

Optional: Garnish with chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a delightful crunch.
