Why You Will Love These Fluffy Banana Cinnamon Rolls

Equipment Needed
- Baking Pan – At least a 9×9 inch. You can use a 9×13 inch pan but it helps the cinnamon rolls rise higher when they are closer together.
- Rolling Pin
- Mixer with Dough Hook – I prefer this one with the lift bowl because it stands up to the tough job of kneading dough so well without letting the bowl spin off like the ones without the lift bowl sometimes do.
