Ingredients:
For the Dough:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup warm milk (110°F or 43°C)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 ripe banana, mashed
For the Filling:
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ripe banana, thinly sliced
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 tbsp milk (to thin, if needed)
Instructions:
Prepare the Dough:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and mashed banana.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Filling:

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Roll Out the Dough:

After the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over it. Add the banana slices on top of the sugar mixture.
Form the Rolls:

Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 even pieces and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Second Rise:

Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.
Bake the Rolls:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Prepare the Frosting:

While the rolls bake, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Add milk as needed to achieve a spreadable consistency.
Serve:

Let the rolls cool slightly, then spread the cream cheese frosting on top. Enjoy these warm Banana Cinnamon Rolls with creamy, sweet frosting!
The bananas add a rich flavor and soft texture that make these rolls a cozy treat for any occasion!
