REQUESTED ~ BANANA CINNAMON BUN RECIPE

I found this on the net. I'm usually dubious about most recipes but this one in particular turned out rather well. I like this recipe because its easy to make and doesn't take all day. I had a comment on yesterdays blog; its not a secret recipe and here it is:

Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls
(Most Important Step ~ Turn On Oven Light Now)
 
4 tsp Yeast (bottle says 2-1/4 makes one tsp) I doubled this because I found it makes the dough plump better.
1/2 c Warm Water (I warm the bowl first)
1/3 c Melted Butter (I mix sugar in as well)
1/3 c Brown Sugar
1/2 c Warm Milk (added into the butter/sugar)
5 c     Flour
1 tsp  Salt
1 tsp  Cinnamon (salt/cinnamon mix into flour)
2        Eggs (mixed in with Bananas)
3        Ripe Bananas

• Mix yeast and water according to instructions and set aside to rise.

• Combine butter, sugar and milk to melt together.

• Mix the rest with a dough hook set to knead: 
• I add the flour, salt and cinnamon to the mixer bowl.
• Mix the yeast/water with the melted butter mixture and add it to the flour; mix till combined.

• Add banana and eggs. Mix.

• Add remaining flour and mix. 

You'll have a batter dough that you can 'pour' into a greased bowl, cover with a tea towel and place in the oven for 2 hours to rise.

Filling: (already doubled)

1 c Softened Butter
12 oz Brown Sugar (3/4 c x 2)
2 Tbsp Cinnamon

• Mix all together and melt. 

**Roll out dough to 1/4 inch and fill. 
**Roll together and cut into parts.
**Place in parchment lined pans.
**Put in oven to rise until doubled (1 Hour).
**Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes.

You can Frost or just eat!

Frosting:
8 oz room temperature Cream Cheese
4 oz room temperature Butter
2 c   Powdered Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla

~~After 30 minutes, frost cooled buns. 

Enjoy!!!

The 'Over the Horizon' Future of My Blog

Originally my blog was intended to share different aspects of living with cats, as pets, as friends and as companions. To share with my readers and visitors cat stories, pictures and products; links, poems, videos; the humor and the pitfalls; recipes. Helping articles, commentary, information and... something more. The something more was to be encouragement, bravery to face life's tougher moments and situations, inspiration and spiritual mews. So far I think I'm doing fairly well though its taken a bit of time to find my way...


I'm looking at expanding on these aspects and adding to them as I grow into my blog so you can expect the occasional writing that has little to do with my topic and I hope you will forgive the diversion as I explore 'something more' along the way. Please be advised that I would never post a blog concerning something or about a product that I don't, myself, believe in; nor would I offer a link or ad that would mislead my faithful readers and visitors. 


The future of my blog is to become an expert in the eyes of my readers/visitors and become known for my love and respect of all animals. To share the knowledge and occasionally, the wisdom of what I have learned over my lifetime. This will include the occasional 'somethings more'. If there is a topic, subject or idea that you have that you'd like to see expanded on my blog, please let me know by leaving a comment.
