BANANA FILLING

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
2. Add the mashed bananas, sugar, cinnamon and salt and whisk to combine.
3. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
4. Transfer filling to a bowl, add the cornstarch and pecans and mix well. Set aside to cool completely.

CINNAMON ROLL DOUGH

1. Heat up the milk to lukewarm over the stove or in the microwave (in increments). Keep an eye on the temperature as if it is too hot, it could kill your yeast. If your milk is too hot, set it aside until it is lukewarm.
2. Add the yeast to your warm milk, stir until slightly dissolved. Set aside for 5 minutes or until you see bubbles in the milk.
3. Using your stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, mix together the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
4. Mix in the yeast milk, butter and eggs on low-medium speed for 6 minutes. Your dough should appear smooth.
5. Transfer your dough into an oiled bowl and cover it. Set aside at room temperature to rise for about an hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
6. While your dough is proofing, prepare a 9×13” baking dish lined with butter. Mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl.
7. Place your dough onto a floured surface and roll it into a large 12×18” rectangle with a floured rolling pin.
8. Evenly brush the softened butter onto the surface of the dough (microwave for a few seconds if not spreadable). Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon filling over the butter.
9. Spread the banana filling using an offset spatula.
10. Roll the dough into a tight roll from the long side and cut into 12 pieces using a serrated knife or unflavoured dental floss.
11. Place the rolls into the buttered baking dish and cover again to let it rise for an hour. To check if your dough is ready, poke it and it should leave an indentation. If the dough bounces back completely with no dent, let it rise for longer.
12. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
13. Microwave the heavy cream until just warm and pour it over the roll, make sure you get in between the rolls and spirals.
14. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

ICING

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk and pour it over the cinnamon rolls. Use an offset spatula to create an even layer.
2. (Optional) Top off with banana slices and/or chopped pecans.
