Banana Pudding Cinnamon Rolls 🍌✨ (recipe makes ~8 large rolls) Dough: ¾ cup (180g) warm milk 1 packet active dry yeast (2¼ tsp/7g) ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar 1 egg, room temp ½ cup (120g) mashed overripe banana ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted ~3½ cups (~420g) all purpose flour (only add more if it’s super sticky) 1 tsp salt + ⅓ cup warm heavy cream to pour over the rolls right before baking Filling: 6 tbsp (85g) unsalted butter, room temp ⅔ cup (133g) brown sugar, packed ⅓ cup (80g) mashed banana 1½ tsp cinnamon ½ tsp vanilla extract 1¼ cups finely crushed nilla wafers Icing: 6oz (170g) cream cheese, room temp (block style, not spreadable) ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, room temp 2 tbsp dry banana pudding mix (optional) 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar ½ tsp vanilla 1-2 tbsp milk (to thin it out) Topping: Vanilla or banana pudding Crushed nilla wafers Banana slices Instructions: Combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit 5-10 min until foamy. Add egg, mashed banana, and melted butter, mix. Stir in salt and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for 8-10 min. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-1½ hrs or until doubled. For the filling, mix the soft butter, brown sugar, mashed banana, nilla wafers, vanilla, and cinnamon until combined/spreadable. *banana moisture can vary. if the filling is too runny, add some more crushed nilla wafers Roll dough into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread the filling evenly all over. I like to use a pizza cutter to first slice 8 pieces then roll them each up tightly. (Or you can tightly roll the whole thing then slice) Place in greased 9x13 pan. Cover & let rise ~30 more min. Pour warm heavy cream over the rolls right before baking. Bake at 350°F for 22-28 min until golden. To make the icing, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Then, beat in powdered sugar, pudding mix, vanilla, and a little bit of milk until fully combined. Spread over warm rolls. Add a dollop of pudding on top of each roll. Sprinkle crushed nilla wafers and banana slices over the top. Enjoy! #bakingrecipe #cinnamonrolls #bananapudding #cinnamonrollrecipe #Recipe - @audreybakes
