For the dough
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 ¼ teaspoons Rapid Rise yeast
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ⅔ cup mashed overripe banana
For the cinnamon sugar filling
- ¼ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- pinch salt
For the cinnamon cream cheese frosting
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 2 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
Dough Preparation
Combine 2 cups of the flour, brown sugar, yeast, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Mix to combine.
Microwave the milk and butter for 30 seconds until warm and the butter is mostly melted. Add the warm milk and butter along with the mashed banana to the flour mixture.
Beat on low speed, gradually increasing to high until completely combined, about 2 minutes.
Scrape down the bowl and add 1 more cup of flour, beating until combined. Add the remaining cup of flour until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth.
Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and cover. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Cinnamon Rolls Assembly
Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a long rectangle about 18 x 12 inches on a floured surface.
Spread the butter for the filling all the way to the edge of the dough. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the butter.
From the long end, roll the dough into a tight roll, sealing the bottom edge by pinching the dough together.
Cut the dough into 12 even rolls and place them in a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Cover loosely and allow to rise for another hour until doubled in size.
Bake the cinnamon rolls at 350°F for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool.
Frosting Preparation
In a stand mixer, combine the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, milk, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy.
Spread the icing evenly over the cinnamon rolls. Enjoy warm!
