Yipee, it’s Thursday!! So glad the weekend is a comin’!
Don’t know about you guys, but I am a sucker for cinnamon rolls. This recipe is a no fuss, easy peazy version that you can whip up in no time….. AND it tastes like warm cinnamon banana bread! Go find yourself a roll of Pillsbury French Bread Dough in the refrigerated section on your grocery store. It can be tricky to find, I picked up mine at a Safeway store. This dough makes incredible cinnamon rolls!
Now, don’t be intimidated about the whole “roasted banana” thing, all it is, is sliced bananas, butter and brown sugar baked until bubbly. That’s it! After they cool, mash them with a fork and you are ready to get started!
Take a look at these bad boys…..I’m drooling all over again!
Roasted Banana Cinnamon Rolls
2 ripe bananas cut into 1/4 inch slices
2 Tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 roll Pillsbury French Bread Loaf
4 Tablespoons softened butter
1/2 Cup brown sugar
1 1/2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 Cup powdered sugar
3-4 Tablespoons heavy cream
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place banana slices and cut up pieces of butter into a small baking dish. Sprinkle with brown sugar and bake for 25 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes. Next, use a fork to smash roasted bananas until well combined.
2. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F. Unroll Pillsbury French Bread dough into rectangle. Spread with softened butter and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Place dollops of roasted banana mixture evenly over top. Starting from long end, roll up into log shape. Using a sharp knife, cut 1 inch slices and place onto a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until just turning golden brown. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes.
3. Whisk powdered sugar and heavy cream until combined; drizzle over top of warm rolls.

You have the best ideas!! I love anything banana, so these sound incredible.
Looks like a GREAT weekend brunch add’n!
Looks great! I have some banana’s I need to bake with, now I have to decide, whole wheat banana muffins or oooey gooey cinnamon rolls? If I asked my kids it would be a no brainer! Thanks!
I just made cinnamon roll muffins last night and the whole time stared at a banana I had on the counter wondering how I could put it in. Great minds think alike! I’m all for easy recipes.
Amazing breakfast treat!
They look great and I would love one for breakfast right now! I must try this! Thanks!
Oh my! These look wonderful! I love anything having to do with cinnamon rolls. These are on my list to try this weekend!
Happy Thursday!
Holy YUM lady! These look scrumptious!
Looks so good, I will have get some french bread dough today.
Great idea w?the french bread I am soooo trying these this weekend! Oh I made your chicken soup recipe, everyone loved it!!
Oh my, those look beautiful!
These rolls look like they would melt in your mouth! I wish I had one for breakfast!
Looks absolutely delicious to me! Roasted bananas in a cinnamon roll- perfect!
I made something from roasted bananas once, because of you! (I forget now what it was lol)But they smelled great roasting in the oven.
I’ve had cinnamon rolls on the brain lately. These are wonderful!
Look delicious and so easy!
Oh my goodness…these look amazing! This recipe is definitely going on my “to bake” list!
You are a genious! You come up with the best most easy delicious sweet things ever! I am putting this on my list this weekend to make for breakfast! Thank you!
Did you bake the rolls at 425 as well? I went ahead and did…but def. overbaked a bit. Still yummy but need to reduce my baking time. Mind you the timer going off while changing the baby’s complete diaper blow-out was a bit of wrench in the recipe
Jessica,
This is totally my fault!! I forgot to add, reduce heat to 350 degrees F in my recipe! My deepest apologies for ruining your recipe. I owe you a new batch of rolls!! I will email you
Can you bring some over now???? please!
These look easy and delicious! What a pretty plate you served them on.
I roasted plantains for the first time a few days ago and fell in love. Bananas are going to be next! These look amazing.
I am LOVING the combination of roasted bananas and sweet rolls! The 2 things alone are enough to get me drooling, but together? Oh. My. Goodness.
What a great idea! Must make some now!
These are gorgeous, bet they are delicious!

These look delicious! And so simple too. Thanks for the recipe.

These look fantastic. I have yet to venture making cinnamon rolls but this recipe might just get me baking some this weekend.
just tried these…awesome..couldn’t find the french bread dough.. so I used croissant dough instead.. they turned out more akin to turnovers, than rolls..still delicious though.
Love roasted bananas and who doesn’t love cinnamon rolls! Great combination!
Really like the step by step pics.
Oh, oh, oh, does that look yummy! I’ve never tried banana-cinnamon combo. It has to be AWESOME. Great idea!
Cheers!

Whoa! Those look amazing. And you’re right, doesn’t get much easier than that. YUM!
This sounds like an awesome brunch idea for this Sunday, especially since my husband loves bananas and is always asking me to do something with them. Thanks for posting this!
Made these rolls this morning–huge hit with the hubby! Thanks for a great recipe.
I am so making these Jenny! I wish I could just pick one up off that pretty plate and bite into it. Thanks for sharing another great recipe…can’t wait to try it.
simply luscious and an awesome idea banana!
This is added to my grocery list for the week. I am just bummed that I will wait until next weekend to make them…I want them sooner!
You are KILLIN me with these decadent desserts! Can you come to AZ SOON please…we miss you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!xoxoxoxooooxxxxooxoxoxoxooxoxoooooxxxxoxoxooxoxoxoox
I cannot wait to try this with the soon-to-be mushy bananas in my kitchen! Thanks for sharing!
i have the banana’s roasting right now and am anxiously awaiting the sweet aroma! i love your site and have cooked quite a few recipes. keep them coming.
These were wonderful. I had to run an extra 2 miles on Sunday just so I wouldn’t feel guilty about eating them! I wasn’t crazy about working with the French bread dough; it was hard to roll out. I would use my regular sweet bread dough next time. The roasted bananas were soooooo good! In the words of my 4-year old, “Yummy!” I love your site and check it often!

I KNOW my husband would not like the banana in these…would you recommend making these without the banana or do you have a similar super easy recipe? Thanks!
Try using dental floss to cut the log. Slide floss under log, cross over floss & pull. Cuts each slice clean & doesn’t smash it. Also try cream cheese & powdered sugar for icing. Exra yummy!
Thanks for the tip made cutting a synch!
Looks SO good! I can’t wait to try one
I can’t wait to try these! My daughters and I love anything with bananas
Thanks for sharing!
