👩🏻🍳 Instructions

Let me tell you from the beginning that I have not used Yeast for this recipe. However, traditionally people do use yeast. They add yeast to a mixture of melted butter and milk while they are lukewarm. Since I have not added yeast, it doesn't mean my cinnamon buns didn't rise. If you see, they actually did rise. And a LOT.
So, the replacement for Yeast is - 11/2 teaspoon Baking Powder + 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda.

Stir well with a spoon and let the butter and sugar soak in that aromatic fragrance and that spicy taste of cinnamon into itself. This is the filling for our Banana Cinnamon Roll.

In a separate bowl let's mix our All-Purpose baking buddy - All-Purpose Flour, Granulated Sugar, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, and some cold butter cubes.
Now is the time when we have to use our hands to mix these cold butter cubes with the other dry ingredients. It is very important to use cold butter cubes. Use your hands to mix it with the flour. You'll get a crumbly mixture once the butter melts.
It's best to use your hands. You can also use a dough maker. However, using your hands will ease the process as the heat from your hands will melt the butter quickly. I know your hands will get dirty. But, trust me you'll be licking the dough off your hand.
Now let's add another super-important ingredient of the day - Banana. To this add some thick yogurt so that it helps our dough rise and shine. And finally, something without which Baking is impossible - our sweet old friend - Vanilla Essence.
And, that's it. Let's mix them up. Use your hands and make a soft, moist dough. Then, you can place it in the fridge for some time to help it rise.
After some time, take it out and roll it like a flat rectangle. Now, take your Cinnamon Sugar filling that you had created earlier and smeared it all over the dough. Once it has been smeared it is time to roll it up from one side. Yes, my friend. This is the step that will make you your cinnamon roll.
While rolling if your dough is sticking on the surface. Use some flour. This flour will help you roll it easily.
Once you've rolled it into a thin long strip, use your kitchen knife to cut out at least 2-inch wide cinnamon roll, oh! wait, it's Banana Cinnamon Rolls.
Now place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in a pre-heated oven at 350F or 180C for 30-35 minutes.
In the meantime, let's make the frosting for our cinnamon rolls. You see, if not for this frosting, our cinnamon roll would be totally bland. So, let's make the frosting right away.
For the frosting, mix cream cheese, butter, and some icing sugar until light, fluffy and creamy. Keep it ready. If you still got some time, then go ahead and relax for a while. You've earned it.
Once your baking is done and your oven has beeped, let's smear that creamy cream cheese frosting all over our Banana Cinnamon roll buns. And, yes my friend. They are ready to be eaten.

Jump right away at them. You will love every bit of this crusty, creamy, Banana cinnamon rolls.
