Description
Delicious banana cinnamon rolls topped with a creamy peanut butter glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 medium banana, thinly sliced into about 30 slices
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 3–4 tablespoons non-dairy milk of choice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make the banana cinnamon roll dough through Step 3, allowing the dough to double in size as per the banana cinnamon roll dough recipe instructions.
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or coconut oil and set aside for later use.
- Once the dough has doubled in size, lightly flour a rolling pin and flat surface. Roll the dough into a 15×9 inch rectangle gently, taking care not to use too much flour to avoid stiff dough.
- Spread softened butter evenly over the dough, followed by the creamy peanut butter. Sprinkle brown sugar and ground cinnamon evenly on top, then gently pat so sugar absorbs into the butter slightly.
- Place thin banana slices flat over the dough in three long rows. Using the heels of your hands and thumbs, carefully roll the dough into a long log with the seam side down.
- Trim no more than 1 inch from the ends, then use dental floss or a serrated knife to cut the roll into approximately 1½ inch wide pieces, yielding 12 rolls for the 9×13 pan.
- Place the rolls in the greased baking dish, leaving space between them to allow rising. Put the pan in a draft-free environment or warm oven to rise again for about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC) while rolls are rising. Once ready, bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes until lightly browned on top.
- While rolls cool slightly, whisk together peanut butter, confectioners sugar, vanilla extract, and 3 tablespoons of non-dairy milk. Add an additional tablespoon of milk if the glaze is too thick until it achieves a pourable consistency.
- Pour the peanut butter glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls and enjoy immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure the rolls have enough space to rise between them for best results.
- Use dental floss to cut the rolls for a cleaner cut without squishing them.
