ingredients

  • 30 frozen dinner rolls thawed (I used Rhodes)
  • 4 bananas peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 Tbsp melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Bourbon Caramel Sauce
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp bourbon

instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a bundt pan and coat with a thin layer of flour. Set aside.
  • To make the caramel sauce, in a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup brown sugar sugar, heavy cream, 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, and pinch of salt to a boil over medium heat. While stirring continuously, cook until the mixture thickens and deepens in color, approximately 7-9 minutes. Add 1 Tbsp vanilla extract and bourbon and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Line the bottom of the bundt pan with half of the sliced bananas. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the bananas.
  • Combine 1 cup brown sugar with cinnamon in a bowl. Cut 15 dinner rolls in half and roll each piece in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Layer the sugar coated rolls over the bananas and caramel in the pan.
  • Add the remaining banana slices in an even layer over the rolls. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the bananas.
  • Cut the remaining rolls in half, rolling each piece in the cinnamon sugar, and layer on top of the bananas and caramel once again. Add the 3 Tbsp of melted butter to the cinnamon sugar mixture and, once combined, pour over the final layer of rolls. Pour 1 tsp of vanilla over the final layer of rolls as well.
  • Cover the pan with cling wrap and allow to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Place the bundt pan on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for approximately 40-45 minutes. Turn out onto a large serving dish that is at least a couple inches wider than the bundt pan when turned out. Serve immediately.
