Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm milk (non-dairy milk if preferred)
  • 2¼ tsp active dry yeast (avoid instant yeast)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (can reduce for lower sugar)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup vanilla pudding mix (non-dairy optional)

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let rest for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix in eggs, melted butter, and salt until smooth.
  3. Gradually add flour, kneading for 8 minutes until elastic.
  4. Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  5. Whisk brown sugar and cinnamon; mash bananas and mix with vanilla pudding for the filling.
  6. Roll dough into a rectangle, spread filling, roll up into a log, and cut into 12 rolls.
  7. Place rolls in a baking dish, cover, and let rise for 30-40 minutes.
  8. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Let dough rest while preparing a vanilla glaze during the second rise for maximum fluffiness.
Substitute non-dairy milk and butter for a halal option.
Adjust sugar to personal taste or dietary needs.
