This recipe might sound intimidating, but trust us—it’s easier than it looks! Follow these step-by-step instructions for perfection.
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, mix the melted butter, mashed bananas, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly sticky.
Step 2: Roll Out the Dough
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect—just aim for a roughly uniform shape.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten any lumps or bumps in the dough.
Step 3: Add the Filling
- Spread the softened butter evenly over the rolled-out dough. Leave a small border around the edges to help seal the rolls later.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the buttered dough. Gently press the filling into the dough to ensure it sticks.
Step 4: Roll and Slice
- Starting from the longer side of the rectangle, tightly roll up the dough like a jelly roll. Pinch the seam closed to seal.
- Using a sharp knife or dental floss, slice the log into 1-inch pieces. Each piece will form one cinnamon roll.
Step 5: Bake
- Place the sliced rolls into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan, leaving a little space between each roll.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let the rolls rise at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This step helps them become extra fluffy!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once risen, bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Step 6: Drizzle the Glaze
- While the rolls are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a smooth glaze. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or sugar as needed.
- Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm cinnamon rolls for an irresistible finishing touch.
Tips for Success
- Use Ripe Bananas : Overripe bananas are sweeter and easier to mash, which enhances the flavor of the rolls.
- Don’t Overfill : When spreading the butter and cinnamon-sugar mixture, leave enough room along the edges to prevent leaks during baking.
- Experiment with Add-Ins : Fold chopped walnuts, pecans, or mini chocolate chips into the filling for added texture and flavor.
- Make Ahead : Prepare the dough and filling ahead of time, refrigerate overnight, and assemble in the morning for fresh-out-of-the-oven goodness.
