2. 1/4 cup of sugar, granulated
3. 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
4. half a cup of heated milk (approximately 110°F)
5. One packet of 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
6. Two big eggs
7. 4 cups all-purpose flour plus additional to be used as dust
8. One tsp salt

Regarding the Filling:

Regarding the Cream Cheese Frosting:

1. 4 ounces of softened cream cheese
2. 1/4 cup softened unsalted butter
3. One cup of sugar powder
4. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Get the Yeast Going:

• Pour the heated milk and a small pinch of powdered sugar into a small bowl. After scattering the yeast on top, let it sit for five to ten minutes, or until frothy.

Get the dough ready:

• Beat the eggs, melted butter, bananas, and remaining granulated sugar together thoroughly in a sizable mixing dish.
• Stir the banana mixture and add the activated yeast mixture.
• Stirring constantly, gradually add the flour and salt until a soft dough forms.
• After transferring the dough to a floured surface, knead it for five to seven minutes, or until it becomes elastic and smooth.

First Getting Up:

• After putting the dough in a greased bowl and covering it with plastic wrap or a fresh kitchen towel, let it rise for one to two hours, or until it has doubled in size, in a warm, draft-free environment.

Prepare the Filling:

• Combine the ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and softened butter in a small bowl and stir until thoroughly blended. Put aside.

Spread the Dough:

• After the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a surface dusted with flour. Roll it out into a sizable, 1/4-inch-thick rectangle.

Fill and Roll:

• Leave a thin border all the way around the edges of the dough and evenly spread the prepared filling over it.
• Roll the dough into a log tightly, beginning with one long edge.

Cut and Organise:

• Slice the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or a piece of dental floss.
• In the air fryer basket, arrange the cinnamon buns, giving each a small space between them.

Second Ascent:

• Once the rolls are puffy and almost doubled in size, cover and continue to let them rise for a further thirty minutes.

Using an air fryer, bake:

• Set your air fryer to 160°C, or 320°F.
• After 10 minutes, check to see if the rolls are done. Place them in the air fryer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. The rolls have to be well fried and golden brown.

Prepare the Icing of Cream Cheese:

• Make the cream cheese frosting while the cinnamon buns are baking. Beat the softened butter, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and cream cheese until smooth and creamy in a mixing bowl.

Put some ice in and serve:

• After cooking, take the cinnamon rolls out of the air fryer and allow them to cool for a short while.
• Drizzle the heated rolls with the cream cheese frosting.
• These scrumptious Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls are ready to be served.
