Cinnamon rolls are such an indulgent way to enjoy breakfast. All that cinnamon sugar goodness rolled in between fluffy sweet dough and topped with a rich cream cheese frosting is hard to resist! But what about taking it a step further by adding more surprises within those rolls? What about bananas and chocolate chips? Well, that’s exactly what I did when I made these Overnight Banana Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Rolls recently, using the Instant Pot as my dough proofer. The banana and chocolate combination works so well and makes every bite of this roll a delicious one.
This recipe takes cinnamon rolls to another level. Even better is that you can make the rolls in advance and have them ready to bake up in the morning while you wait for the coffee! Bursts of sweet banana are found in every bite while studded in between the layers are chocolate chips. It will open up your mind to other flavor ideas that can be used too!
Instant Pot: Overnight Banana Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Rolls
ingredients:
1/2 C warm water (105 deg F)
4 1/2 C all-purpose flour (22 1/2 oz)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs
1/4 C sugar
Filling: (adapted from Picky Palate)
Frosting:
instructions:
Add the eggs, sugar, butter, salt, and remaining 4 cups flour to the yeast mixture. Fit the mixer with the dough hook and knead on medium speed until smooth 10-12 minutes. Add a bit more flour to reduce stickiness if needed. Transfer dough to the Instant Pot insert.
Place in Instant Pot and secure the lid. The valve can be set to either SEALING or VENTING – it doesn’t matter because the dough will not be cooking under pressure at any time during this process.
