Fluffy Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls

• In a large mixing bowl, heat the almond milk and 3 Tablespoons butter in the microwave in 30 sec increments, until warm and just melted. Let cool to 110 degrees. If milk mixture is too hot it will kill the yeast.
• Sprinkle yeast on top of milk mixture and let activate for 10 minutes. Then add 1 Tbsp sugar, salt and stir. Next add in 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana and stir.
• Add flour 1/2 cup at a time, stirring as you go, as the dough will be sticky. When it is too thick to stir, transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for a minute or so, adding more flour as needed to form a ball. Only use as much flour as it will take.
• Rinse out your mixing bowl, coat it with canola or olive oil, and add your dough ball back in seam side down.
• Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size about 40 minutes or so.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a long rectangle ~1/4 inch thick. Brush with 1/4 cup melted melted butter (reserve 1 tablespoon for top of rolls) and sprinkle with 1/3 cup sugar (minus 1 tablespoon sugar for top of rolls), cinnamon and nuts. Then add about 20 very thin banana slices so it's easy to roll.
• Slowly roll up the dough and place seam down. Start with left corner of long side of rectangle when rolling up.
• Using a thread, or a sharp knife cut the dough into 1 - 1½ in slices. and place in lightly buttered baking pan. Brush the top with remaining 1 Tbsp melted butter and sprinkle with reserved tablespoon of sugar.
• Cover with plastic wrap and set on top of the oven to let rise again while you start oven to preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Once the oven is ready, bake rolls for 28-35 minutes or until slightly golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes, then frost with cream cheese frosting.

Frosting

• While they are baking combine frosting ingredients. Beat butter and cream cheese together, then add vanilla and beat again. Add powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time until you reach desired consistency and sweetness. It should be fairly thick but still spreadable, Add more powdered sugar, or a little milk if needed to get the right texture.
• Add pecans if desired.
