- 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar
Spices and Fat:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) melted butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace by heating the oven to 350F and coating a baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Create a fragrant spice blend by combining brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small mixing bowl.
- Carefully unroll the cinnamon roll dough onto a clean, flat surface, ensuring an even workspace.
- Drizzle and gently spread melted butter across the entire surface of the dough, creating a rich, smooth layer.
- Generously distribute the prepared brown sugar and spice mixture over the buttered dough, covering every inch.
- Strategically arrange thinly sliced bananas across the dough, ensuring even coverage.
- Sprinkle finely chopped walnuts over the banana slices, adding texture and nutty flavor.
- Tightly roll the dough from one end to the other, creating a compact log of delicious ingredients.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into individual rounds of equal thickness.
- Carefully transfer the rolls into the prepared baking dish, allowing slight spacing between each piece.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the rolls turn a golden brown color.
- Remove from oven, let cool briefly, and serve while still warm for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Swap out walnuts for pecans or almonds to create a unique flavor profile and accommodate nut allergies.
- Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and intense banana flavor in the rolls.
- Consider adding a cream cheese glaze to enhance the richness and create a more decadent dessert experience.
- For a gluten-free version, replace traditional dough with a gluten-free cinnamon roll dough to make the recipe accessible to more people.
