Ingredients

Scale
  • 23 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 egg (or flax egg for an egg-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • For glaze: 1/2 cup softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, egg (or flax egg), and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just combined.
  3. Roll the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread melted butter over the dough and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugars.
  4. Roll the dough tightly into a log shape and cut into eight equal pieces.
  5. Place rolls in a greased baking dish and let rise for about 30-45 minutes until doubled in size.
  6. Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. While cooling slightly, prepare the glaze by mixing softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
