Banana bread meets cinnamon rolls! Made with an ultimate simple dough recipe, add this to your weekend breakfast rotation.
Yield 12 rolls
Ingredients
Filling
- 3/4 cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon fine salt
- 4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 large banana, thinly sliced
Glaze
- 1 cup (125g) powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Make the ultimate simple dough through the first rise (through step 4).
- Generously grease two 9-inch pie pans or one 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Prepare the filling: In small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon and salt.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough out into a 9x15-inch rectangle.
- Brush the melted (filling) butter all over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border along the edge. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough. Arrange the banana slices in even rows, spacing each row a couple inches apart, over the dough. Starting with the long edge, roll the dough up tightly then press the seam to seal. Use a sharp serrated knife or unscented dental floss to slice into 12 equal pieces. Place in prepared pan(s).
- Loosely cover and allow to rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until puffy.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and maple syrup until a thick glaze forms. Drizzle over the warm rolls. Enjoy!
