# Ingredients Required:

→ Wet ingredients

01 - 2 ripe bananas, mashed
02 - 115 grams unsalted butter, melted
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Sugars

05 - 50 grams granulated sugar
06 - 55 grams packed brown sugar

→ Dry ingredients

07 - 190 grams all-purpose flour
08 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
10 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
11 - 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

→ Frosting

12 - 60 grams powdered sugar
13 - 15 milliliters milk

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C and grease a 23 x 23 cm baking dish.
02 - In a large bowl, blend mashed bananas with granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth and creamy.
03 - Add eggs and vanilla extract to the banana mixture and mix until fully combined.
04 - Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
05 - Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; a few lumps are acceptable to avoid overmixing.
06 - Mix ground cinnamon with brown sugar to create the filling.
07 - On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 1.25 cm thick rectangle.
08 - Brush melted butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
09 - Roll the dough tightly from one edge into a log and pinch the seams to seal.
10 - Slice the log into 2.5 cm thick pieces and arrange them spaced apart in the prepared baking dish.
11 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until rolls are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
12 - While baking, whisk powdered sugar with milk until smooth for the frosting.
13 - Remove rolls from oven, let cool slightly, then drizzle the frosting evenly over the rolls.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain tender texture.
02 - Allow the rolls to cool slightly before applying frosting to prevent it from melting excessively.
