Ingredients:

• Banana dough:
  • 145 g of lukewarm milk
  • 7g instant dry yeast
  • 30g caster sugar
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1 crushed banana
  • 45 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 365g bread flour
  • 3g of salt
• Cinnamon sugar topping:
  • 55g unsalted butter
  • 85-100g coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons of cinnamon

• Brown butter frosting:
  • 45g of browned butter
  • 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 14g powdered sugar
  • 30-40g of milk (to adjust the consistency)
  • 7g vanilla bean paste

Instructions:

1. Start by preparing the dough. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, sugar, egg, mashed banana and salt. Mix using a stand mixer on low speed for 3 minutes. Add the softened butter and continue mixing with a dough hook on low to medium speed until the dough is smooth, about 8 minutes.
2. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest in a warm place until doubled in size, about an hour.
3. For the topping, mix the coconut sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Put aside.
4. Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread the softened butter over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly.
5. Roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into about 8 slices using a sharp knife or dental floss.
6. Line a 9×13 inch pan with the rolls. Let them rise again for 40 to 45 minutes.
7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Bake the buns for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
8. For the frosting, in a medium bowl, combine the browned butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste and milk. Beat until mixture is light and fluffy.
9. Once the rolls have cooled slightly, spread the icing on them.
