The Secret to Our Perfect Cinnamon Rolls

The magic of these cinnamon rolls lies in the combination of a few  core key ingredients:

  • The Dough: Our dough is simple and uses a touch of mashed banana to add a subtle sweetness and incredible moisture, making the rolls extra soft.
  • The Filling: We’ve combined mashed ripe bananas with creamy peanut butter and a hint of cinnamon. The natural sugars in bananas offer sweetness and a silky mouthfeel, complemented by the rich, earthy notes of peanut butter.
  • The Glaze: A simple glaze of powdered sugar, milk, and a touch of vanilla is the perfect finishing touch. You can even add a dollop of peanut butter to the glaze for an extra decadent treat!

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Make Them

Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 ripe mashed banana
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3-4 cups all-purpose flour

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 ripe mashed banana
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and a small pinch of sugar. Allow the mixture to rest for 5–10 minutes, or until it turns frothy.
  2. Make the Dough: Add the remaining sugar, melted butter, mashed banana, and salt to the yeast mixture. Slowly add the flour, one cup at one time, mixing until you get a soft dough.
  3. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  4. Prepare the Filling: While the dough is rising, mix the peanut butter, mashed banana, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  5. Assemble the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it into a large rectangle. Spread the filling evenly over the dough.
  6. Roll and Cut: Tightly roll the dough into a log, starting from the long side. Slice the log into 12 even rolls.
  7. Bake: Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover them, and allow to rise for an additional 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 25–30 minutes, otherwise until the tops are golden brown.
  8. Glaze and Enjoy: Let the rolls cool slightly. Whisk together the glaze ingredients and drizzle over the warm rolls. Serve immediately!

Pro-Tips for Perfect Banana Peanut Butter Cinnamon Rolls

  • Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your rolls will be. Look for bananas with lots of brown spots.
  • Don’t Rush the Rise: The rising time is crucial for creating soft, airy rolls. Be patient and let the yeast do its job.
  • Customize Your Glaze: Feel free to get creative! Add a sprinkle of chopped peanuts or a dash of cinnamon to your glaze for extra flavor.

Enjoy these soft, sweet, and irresistible banana peanut butter cinnamon rolls. They’re sure to become a new family favorite!
