Soft and fluffy banana bread-inspired cinnamon rolls with a sweet cinnamon filling, topped with a simple vanilla glaze.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 3/4 cup warm almond milk
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet instant yeast (about 2 1/4 tsp)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Filling:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp almond milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana in a large bowl. Add warm almond milk, melted butter, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Mix in flour and salt until a dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes, then let the dough rest in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  3. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and walnuts.
  4. Roll the dough tightly from the long end and cut into 12 rolls. Place in a greased baking dish and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Whisk together glaze ingredients and drizzle over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

  • You can omit the walnuts for a nut-free version.
  • These are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Try using oat or soy milk as a substitute for almond milk if needed.
