Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) chopped walnuts
Sweeteners and Enhancers:
- 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) melted butter
Instructions
- Set the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even baking.
- Transform ripe bananas into a smooth, creamy puree by mashing them thoroughly in a mixing bowl.
- Incorporate brown sugar and roughly chopped walnuts into the banana mixture, stirring until well combined and evenly distributed.
- Carefully unroll each cinnamon roll, creating a flat surface to generously coat with the prepared banana-walnut blend.
- Gently roll the cinnamon rolls back into their original spiral shape, pressing slightly to secure the filling.
- Arrange the rolled cinnamon rolls in a baking dish, positioning them with the spiral side facing upward.
- Drizzle melted butter across the top of the rolls, ensuring even coverage for a rich, golden finish.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, watching for a deep golden-brown color and complete cooking.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes, which helps them set and makes serving easier.
Notes
- Choose overripe bananas with dark brown spots for maximum sweetness and deeper banana flavor.
- Add a pinch of ground nutmeg alongside cinnamon for a warm, complex spice profile that complements banana’s natural sweetness.
- Toast walnuts briefly before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor and create a more robust crunch in the rolls.
- Replace walnuts with pecans or almonds for variety, or omit nuts entirely for nut-free dietary needs.
