BANANA NUT CINNAMON ROLLS

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
• 1 Tablespoon, butter, melted

• 2 3/4 cups flour
• 2 Tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup mashed banana (1 banana)
• 7 Tablespoons butter, melted and divided
• 3/4 cup buttermilk

• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon milk
• 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Get out an 8×8 pan.
2. Mix together the filling ingredients until they resemble sand. Set aside.
3. Sift together the dry ingredients. Create a well in the center of the flour. Add the buttermilk, banana, and 2 Tablespoons melted butter. Mix with a fork until a soft dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead a few times, but do not over mix or the dough will get tough. Press the dough out with your fingers into a 10″ by 14″ rectangle.
5. Spread 2 Tablespoons melted butter over the dough. Sprinkle with the cinnamon filling, leaving 1/2 inch on all sides. Roll up gently from the shortest end. Use a spatula or butter knife to loosen the roll if the dough sticks to the counter. Cut a small piece off each end to even it up. Cut the roll into 9 even slices.
6. Spread 1 Tablespoon of melted butter in an 8″x8″ pan. Place the rolls in the pan. Drizzle the rolls with the last 2 Tablespoons of melted butter. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes.
7. Whisk together the frosting ingredients. Serve the rolls warm with frosting and extra nuts if desired. Makes 9 cinnamon rolls.
