Nutella Banana Cinnamon Rolls: Ingredients & Equipment

For these Nutella Banana Cinnamon Rolls, you will need …

Ingredients

For the dough

• dry yeast – active. We’re making rising dough for this recipe! You’ll feel like such a pro when it’s done!!
• flour – bread flour is best here, though all-purpose will never fail you. Just remember that the resulting texture might be different depending on the flour you use.
• instant vanilla pudding or white chocolate pudding – these will provide some beautifully sweet flavors to the rolls, so each bite is guaranteed to be super yummy.
• Other standard baking ingredients are eggs, butter, milk, sugar, and salt. If you’ve made any kind of cake, pastry, cookie, etc, before, these probably won’t surprise you at all.

For the filling

• bananas – three large ones. These are one-half of your filling’s star flavors.
• nutella – a cup. The other half of your filling’s flavors! So, so good!
• cinnamon – can’t have cinnamon rolls without the cinnamon.
• cream cheese – this keeps the filling nice and soft.
• granulated sugar – for additional sweetness, of course!

For the glaze

• vanilla extract, and powdered sugar – these form the base of your sweet cinnamon roll glaze.
• hot water and butter – these ingredients are the other half of your glaze and give it a gooey consistency.

Equipment

• bread machine – you’ll make the actual dough itself in a bread machine, which simplifies the process a lot!
• small bowls – one to combine your Nutella and cream cheese, and one to combine your sugar and cinnamon.
• 9×13 baking pan – greased. You’ll bake your Nutella rolls in this!

Instructions

 

Rolls:

• Place the ingredients listed above for the rolls in order into a bread machine per the manufacturers' directions. Set for dough cycle. After the cycle is complete, remove the dough from the machine and roll it out to a rectangle about 17×10 inches.

Filling:

• In a small bowl, combine the Nutella and softened cream cheese until well combined and smooth. You may get a few chunks. That is okay, it will still spread out nicely. Set aside.
• Mix the cinnamon and sugar in another small bowl, and set aside.
• Spread the Nutella and cream cheese mixture on the rolled-out dough (17×10 inches), making sure to completely cover but leaving a 1/4-1/2 inch edge on each side. Then slice the bananas and place the slices on top of the Nutella. You can place the bananas wherever you would like. Just make sure that they don't overlap. Once you have placed all of the bananas, sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar filling over the bananas and Nutella.
• Roll the dough tightly from the long end, pinching edges closed when completely rolled. Slice dough into 12 rolls, about 3/4-1 inch thick slices. Place the sliced rolls into a greased 9×13, let rise until doubled.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 20-22 minutes. Add glaze on once they have cooled for a few minutes. Serve immediately or cover and set aside for later. I would add the glaze right before serving.

Glaze:

• Mix butter, powdered sugar, and almond extract. Add hot water 1 tablespoon at a time until the glaze reaches desired consistency. Drizzle over sweet rolls.

Notes

• Bread flour is preferred, but all-purpose flour can also be used.
• If you don't have a bread machine, you can also make these by hand.
