Yet another recipe from Sally's baking addiction! I think I might have an addiction.. to this BLOG! hahah Must give her full credit~ there's just so many recipes that I want to bake after looking at the photos. They make you *DROOL*! and they also don't seem too difficult!

Banana Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Rolls
Recipe adapted from Sally's baking addiction

Ingredients

Rolls
2 1/4 cup plain flour
1/2 cup plain flour (extra)
3 tbs (45g) caster sugar
1 tsp salt
1 packet dried yeast (7g)
120ml water
60ml milk
2 1/2 tbs (38g) unsalted butter
1 large egg

Filling
2 tbs (30g) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup mashed banana
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup (50g) caster sugar
1/3 cup (60g) mini chocolate chips

1. Make dough by adding flour, sugar, salt and yeast in a bowl.
2. Heat water, milk and butter together in a microwave until butter is melted. Stir the butter mixture into the flour mixture. Add the egg and enough of the extra flour to make  a soft dough. Dough will be ready when it gently pulls away from the side of the bowl and has elastic consistency.
3. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for about 5-6 minutes. Place in bowl, cover with cling wrap and allow to rise for around 10 minutes.
4. Roll the dough out into a rectangular shape. In a small bowl, mix mashed banana with softened butter and spread over dough. Mix together the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over the top. Sprinkle over the chocolate chips. Roll up the dough tightly. Cut into 12 even pieces and plate in lined round cake tin. Loosely over rolls with foil and allow to rise in warm place for 60-90 minutes.

Lots of filling spread on the dough.. it's like a banana choc pizza XD

5. After the rolls have doubled in size, preheat oven to 190oC. Bake for 25-30 minutes and lightly browned. Cover rolls with foil after 15 minutes to avoid tops burning.

Ta da~ golden brown!

I found the filling a little bit wet so maybe next time I won't mash the bananas up too much. Also feedback from the family was that the flavours don't really match.. but I think they do!! I guess it might have been a bit too sweet.... so next time I'll try berries! or even savoury cheesey ones! mmmm~~ the rolls were deliciously soft and fluffy though :D

Lovely, soft and fluffy rolls :)

Anyways if you have any suggestions just leave a comment =D Till next time~~
