Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In another bowl, mix warm milk, mashed bananas, melted butter, and egg until smooth. Combine mixtures to form a soft dough.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.
Place in a greased bowl to rise for 60-90 minutes until doubled.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread softened butter on top. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon before rolling tightly into a log.
Cut into equal pieces and place in a greased baking dish. Allow to rise again for about 30-45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
For frosting, beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth; frost warm rolls.
