Make the Banana Cinnamon Rolls

1. Bloom yeast in warm milk for a few minutes before adding mashed banana, egg, brown sugar, and vanilla.
2. Then add flour, salt, cinnamon, and soft butter (if using oil you can add it to the wet mixture).

3. Knead with a dough hook for about 1 minute at speed 1 and then increase to speed 2 for about 5 minutes, scraping sides if needed. This dough is a bit sticky but should not be overly wet. If you feel your dough is too wet, add a bit more flour.
4. Cover dough with a damp towel or plastic wrap and allow to rise at room temperature for 60-90 minutes until doubled. Mix together the filling and make the frosting while you wait.
5. To make the filling simply smush together the filling ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Make sure your butter is very soft.
6. Place dough onto floured surface and roll to a large rectangle. Spread with filling and top with thinly sliced bananas. *Do NOT be tempted to mash the bananas into the filling. I tried this while developing this recipe and it was a huge mess. Slicing is the way to go - trust me.* Next, roll the dough into a tight log, brushing off any excess flour as you roll.
7. Slice log into 10-12 pieces - I aim for about 1.5 to 2 inches per roll so sometimes I have more or less. Place in a 9x13 baking dish and allow to rise again for about an hour at room temperature. You can also use a larger, half-sheet pan (18x13 inch) and space the rolls out more if you like them to be more round and individual once baked.
8. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Once rolls have risen for about an hour, bake in preheated oven until puffed and browned.

How to Make Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Glaze/Frosting

1. Heat butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring often, until melted and bubbling. Add cream and bring back to a boil, stirring often. Remove from heat, transfer to mixing bowl, and allow to cool for 20-30 minutes.

2. Add soft cream cheese and vanilla extract to cooled, slightly warm mixture. Mix with hand mixer until incorporated.
3. Add 2 cups powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated. Let frosting sit at room temperature while you finish preparing the rolls. The frosting will set up to a more firm, spreadable frosting consistency.
