Ingredients:
- For the Caramelized Banana Topping:
- – 3 ripe bananas, sliced
- – 1/2 cup brown sugar
- – 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- For the Cinnamon Roll Dough:
- – 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- – 1 cup warm milk
- – 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- – 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
- – 1 tsp salt
- – 2 eggs
- – 4 cups all-purpose flour
- – 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- – 1/2 cup brown sugar
- – 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- – 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
- 1. Prepare the Caramelized Banana Topping: In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat until smooth. Add the sliced bananas and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and pour into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking pan.
- 2. Make the Cinnamon Roll Dough: In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes. Add sugar, butter, salt, eggs, and flour. Mix until dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth. Let the dough rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
- 3. Assemble the Cinnamon Rolls: Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread melted butter over the dough and sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts. Roll up the dough into a log and slice into 12 rolls. Place the rolls on top of the caramelized banana topping in the baking pan.
- 4. Bake and Serve: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before flipping the pan over onto a serving platter to reveal the gooey banana bread cinnamon rolls. Enjoy warm!
