🛒 Ingredients
Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
- 1 tsp baking powder 🥄
- ½ tsp baking soda ✨
- ¼ tsp salt 🧂
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed 🍌
- ¼ cup coconut sugar or maple syrup 🍯
- ½ cup unsweetened plant milk 🥛
- 2 tbsp coconut oil 🥥
- 1 tsp vanilla extract ✨
Cinnamon Filling
- ¼ cup brown sugar 🍬
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon 🌰
- 2 tbsp coconut oil 🥥
For the Glaze (Optional)
- ¼ cup powdered sugar 🍚
- 1–2 tsp plant milk 🥛
- ½ tsp vanilla extract ✨
👩🍳 Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) 🔥 and grease a baking dish 🥣, so the rolls won’t stick.
Next, in a large bowl, mash the bananas 🍌 and then add plant milk 🥛, coconut sugar 🍯, coconut oil 🥥, and vanilla ✨. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth.
Then, gradually mix in the flour 🌾, baking powder 🥄, baking soda ✨, and salt 🧂. Keep stirring until a soft, pliable dough forms.
After that, lightly flour your work surface 🌾 and roll the dough into a rectangle. Subsequently, spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough using the brown sugar 🍬, cinnamon 🌰, and melted coconut oil 🥥.
Now, carefully roll the dough into a log. After rolling, cut it into 8–10 even rolls ✂️ and place them into the prepared baking dish.
Then, let the rolls rest for 5 minutes while you preheat the oven further, if needed. This ensures even baking.
Next, bake the rolls for 25–30 minutes 🕒 or until they are golden brown 💛 and cooked through.
Finally, while the rolls are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar 🍚, plant milk 🥛, and vanilla ✨ until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls for extra sweetness.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
To serve, cut the rolls and enjoy warm. Moreover, pair them with coffee ☕ or tea 🍵 for a perfect breakfast or brunch treat.
🧊 Storage Tips
Lastly, store leftover rolls in an airtight container 📦 for up to 3 days. Alternatively, freeze ❄️ slices for longer storage.
