If you’re a fan of baking mashups (or just delicious flavor combinations) these banana bread cinnamon rolls are sure to please. This recipe combines the best of classic banana bread<\/a> and homemade cinnamon rolls<\/a> to make the ultimate treat.<\/p>\n Mashed bananas are incorporated into a fluffy cinnamon roll dough, which is then filled with melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and cloves. Once the cinnamon rolls are baked and golden, they’re finished with a dreamy spiced cream cheese frosting<\/a>. Serve this showstopping brunch recipe<\/a> for friends or family, or simply enjoy the banana bread cinnamon rolls on a slow Sunday morning at home, paired with a cup of coffee.<\/p>\n In a small saucepan, combine the milk and mashed bananas. Bring them to a boil, and then remove them from the heat. Cool the mixture slightly, then cover it. Refrigerate it for eight hours or overnight.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, mix the sugar, yeast, salt and 2 cups of flour. In a small saucepan, heat the banana milk mixture and butter to between 120\u00b0 and 130\u00b0F. Add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, and beat them on medium speed for two minutes.<\/p>\n Add the eggs and beat on high for two minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (the dough will be sticky).<\/p>\n Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead it until it’s smooth and elastic, six to eight minutes.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> You may not need to incorporate all of the flour that the recipe calls for to finish the dough. Add it in gradually, 1\/4 cup at a time.<\/p>\n Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about one hour.<\/p>\n Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon and cloves in a medium bowl. Punch down the dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into an 18×12-inch rectangle.<\/p>\n Brush the dough with the melted butter and sprinkle it with the brown sugar mixture to within 1\/2-inch of the edges. If desired, sprinkle with walnuts.<\/p>\n Roll the dough up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Pinch the seam to seal it, then cut the log of dough into 12 slices. Place the rolls in a greased 13×9-inch pan, cut side down.<\/p>\n Cover them with a kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place until they’ve doubled in size, about one hour. Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0.<\/p>\n Bake the cinnamon rolls until they’re golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let them cool on a wire rack.<\/p>\n Beat the butter, cream cheese, vanilla, salt, cinnamon and cloves until blended.<\/p>\n Gradually beat in the confectioners’ sugar. Spread the frosting over the top of the cinnamon rolls. Refrigerate leftovers.<\/p>\n To preserve the taste and texture of banana bread cinnamon rolls, store them in an airtight container, in a zip-top bag or wrapped in storage wrap. If the cinnamon rolls have been topped with the cream cheese frosting, store them in the fridge for up to five days. If they’re unfrosted, store the cinnamon rolls at room temperature for three to five days.<\/p>\n Frozen cinnamon rolls are an excellent breakfast treat to keep on hand. Store the cooled cinnamon rolls covered in a layer of storage wrap and aluminum foil, or in an airtight container or freezer bag. Store the rolls in the freezer for up to three months and thaw them overnight in the fridge.<\/p>\n Ready for another cinnamon roll? Reheat the cinnamon rolls at 200\u00b0 in the oven or heat them up in the microwave in 10-second increments.<\/p>\n Fluffy cinnamon rolls are the best cinnamon rolls, but they need enough time to rise in order to achieve that texture. One of our best tips for making cinnamon rolls<\/a> is to leave the dough for the full duration of each rise time to ensure it has plenty of opportunity to develop properly.<\/p>\n Banana bread cinnamon rolls are an excellent breakfast or brunch food. Serve the rolls with something savory, like an omelet<\/a> or ham and cheese frittata<\/a>, and a cup of your favorite coffee or tea.<\/p>\n With such a soft dough, it can be tricky to cut seamless cinnamon rolls. Use a sharp serrated knife to make it easier. Another clever option is to use unflavored dental floss to slice through the dough.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bring all the flavor of banana bread to classic cinnamon rolls
