Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by gently warming ½ cup of non-dairy milk to about 110°F. In a small bowl, combine the warmed milk with 2 teaspoons of instant yeast and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Let this mixture sit for approximately 10 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the foamy yeast mixture with ¼ cup of melted plant-based butter and 2 mashed ripe bananas. Gradually add 3 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon of fine sea salt. Stir together until the dough is fully mixed.
  3. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it feels smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the kneaded dough into a lightly oiled bowl, covering it with a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rise in a warm spot for approximately 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
  5. After the first rise, punch down the dough gently. Roll it out into a rectangle about ½ inch thick. Spread softened plant-based butter, then creamy peanut butter, and sprinkle with brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Layer sliced bananas over the mixture.
  6. Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Slice the log into 12 even pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss.
  7. Arrange the sliced rolls in a greased baking dish, cut side up, and let them rise for another 15 minutes covered with a kitchen towel.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, until lightly golden brown and puffed up.
  9. While the rolls cool, whisk together ¼ cup of creamy peanut butter, 1 cup of confectioners sugar, and about 2 tablespoons of non-dairy milk to achieve a smooth glaze consistency.
  10. Once the rolls have cooled slightly, drizzle the peanut butter glaze generously over the top. Serve warm.
