Banana Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients

• Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
• Powdered sugar (1 cup)
• Brown sugar (3/4 cup)
• Cinnamon (1 tablespoon)
• Egg (1)
• Milk (1/2 cup, warm)
• Unsalted butter (1/4 cup, melted)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
• Active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
• Granulated sugar (1/4 cup)
• All-purpose flour (4 cups)
• Ripe bananas (2, mashed)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt.
2. Add the melted butter, warm milk, and egg to the banana mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 5 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
6. Roll out the dough into a rectangle shape on a lightly floured surface.
7. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and brown sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
8. Starting from one long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
9. Cut the log into 12 equal slices and arrange these slices in the prepared baking dish.
10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
11. While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a separate bowl to create the glaze.
12. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls before serving. Enjoy!
