Description
Soft and fluffy banana bread cinnamon rolls made without yeast. Easy to make with simple ingredients for a sweet, cozy breakfast treat.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 large)
- 2 cups self-rising flour (or 2 cups all-purpose flour + 3 teaspoons baking powder + ½ teaspoon salt)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas and self-rising flour. Stir until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough into a 10×12-inch rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
- Spread softened butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon across the surface.
- Starting from the long edge, roll up the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 9 equal rolls and place them in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes, until the rolls are lightly golden and cooked through.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Drizzle glaze over warm rolls and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips to the cinnamon-sugar filling.
