Instructions
Dough
-
Set aside ½ cup of flour. In a large bowl, toss the remaining flour, sugar, salt, and yeast together until evenly dispersed. Set aside.
-
Heat the water, milk, and butter together in the microwave until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot to touch. About 115 degrees F (46°C) to 120 degrees F (49°C). Stir the butter mixture into the flour mixture.
-
Add the egg and only enough of the reserved flour to make a soft dough. The dough will be ready when it gently pulls away from the side of the bowl and has an elastic consistency.
-
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 5 to 6 minutes. Place in a lightly greased bowl and let rest for about 10 minutes.
Filling:
-
After 10 minutes, roll the dough out in a 14×8-inch rectangle. In a small bowl, mix the mashed banana with the softened butter.
-
Spread over the dough. Mix together the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle it all over the banana/butter. Top with ⅓ cup of chocolate chips.
-
Roll up the dough tightly. Cut into 10 to 11 even pieces and place in a lightly greased 9-inch round pan.
-
Loosely cover the rolls with aluminum foil and allow to rise in a warm, draft-free place for 60 to 90 minutes.
-
After the rolls have doubled in size, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (191°C). Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until lightly browned.
Glaze:
-
Right before serving, top your cinnamon rolls with glaze. Mix the powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream together until smooth and drizzle over rolls.
-
Add more powdered sugar to thicken and then add salt to cut the extra sweetness, if desired.
-
Glaze the rolls immediately before serving.
