Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the rolls.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the 3 ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Make sure there are no large lumps remaining.
- Add the 1/3 cup melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.
- Stir in the 1 cup sugar, followed by the egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until everything is fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, combine the 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Add this mixture to the banana mixture and stir to combine.
- Gradually add the 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- In a small bowl, mix the 1 tablespoon of cinnamon with a bit of sugar (optional, for extra sweetness) to create a cinnamon filling.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll it out into a rectangle, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough, making sure to cover the entire surface.
- Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seams to seal the roll.
- Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or a bench scraper. Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious One Bowl Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls!
Tips
- Choose Very 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 Overmix the Dough: Mix ingredients just until combined to keep the rolls tender and soft. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense rolls.
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your egg and butter are at room temperature for better incorporation and smoother batter.
- Flour Your Surface Lightly: When rolling out the dough, use just enough flour to prevent sticking without drying out the dough.
- Cutting Tip: For clean, even rolls, use dental floss or a sharp serrated knife to slice the rolled dough.
- Check for Doneness: The rolls should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Let Them Rest: Allow the rolls to cool slightly in the pan to let the flavors meld and make them easier to remove.
