Step-by-Step Instructions
Starting with the dough, I combine my mashed bananas with the softened butter, sugar, and eggs in a mixing bowl. I love to use my electric mixer to make it super smooth, ensuring the bananas blend seamlessly into the batter. Gradually, I add in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until everything is combined. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky, which is just what we want for those fluffy rolls.
