Prep time: 20 minutes

Cook time: 30 minutes

Total time: 2 hours 20 minutes

Yield: 12 rolls

Ingredients

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg, room temperature
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (for glaze)
2-3 tablespoons milk (more if needed for consistency)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until combined, then gradually add the remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
In a small bowl, mix the mashed bananas, peanut butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a 12x18-inch rectangle.
Spread the peanut butter and banana mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cover the dish with a damp cloth and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, peanut butter, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the warm rolls.
Serve warm and enjoy!
