Description

Delight in these One-Bowl Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls, a scrumptious twist combining the moistness of banana bread with the comforting swirl of cinnamon rolls. Made in a single bowl and baked to golden perfection, these rolls are sweetened naturally with maple syrup and enhanced with warm spices and optional walnuts for crunch. Topped with a simple glaze, they make a perfect breakfast or snack treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or butter)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)

Swirl Filling

  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons almond milk (or milk of choice)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch (or similar size) baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the maple syrup (or honey), unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Add dry ingredients: To the same bowl, incorporate the baking soda, salt, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and all the flour. Mix until a thick dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Prepare cinnamon-sugar swirl: In a small bowl, mix together the coconut sugar (or brown sugar) and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Set aside this aromatic filling.
  5. Roll out dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the dough surface and optionally add chopped walnuts for extra texture.
  6. Form rolls: Carefully roll the dough from the long edge into a tight log shape. Slice the log into 8-10 even rolls and arrange them snugly in the greased baking dish.
  7. Bake: Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown and are firm to the touch.
  8. Prepare glaze: While the rolls bake, whisk together the powdered sugar and almond milk in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
  9. Finish and serve: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and immediately drizzle the glaze over them. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute coconut oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
  • If avoiding nuts, omit the chopped walnuts without impacting the recipe significantly.
  • Use gluten-free flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • The glaze consistency can be adjusted by adding more or less milk to suit your preference.
  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
