Description

Fluffy dough hides ribbons of peanut butter, mashed banana, and brown sugar spiced with cinnamon. Fresh from the oven, these rolls offer a warm, gooey center and sweet, silky icing that melts in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 medium banana mashed
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl whisk warm milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 to 7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and roll it into a 12×8 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
  7. Spread the creamy peanut butter evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  8. Sprinkle the mashed banana, brown sugar, and cinnamon evenly over the peanut butter layer.
  9. Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log and pinch the seam to seal.
  10. Cut the log into 10 even slices and place them cut-side up in a greased baking pan.
  11. Cover the pan and let the rolls rise for 30 minutes until puffy.
  12. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) while the rolls rise.
  13. Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
  14. While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  15. Remove the rolls from the oven and drizzle the icing over them while they are still warm.

Notes

  • Make sure the milk is about 110°F so it activates the yeast without killing it.
  • You can swap creamy peanut butter for crunchy for extra texture.
  • Allowing the rolls to cool slightly before icing helps the glaze set.
  • Serve warm for the best gooey texture and flavor.
