Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 2 ripe bananas

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, divided

  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour

  • ½ cup old-fashioned oats

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar, divided

  • ¼ cup warm milk (120°F)

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil

  • 1 package (¼ ounce) rapid-rise active dry yeast

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 5 tablespoons butter, melted, divided


Instructions

  1. Place bananas in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on low speed for 1 minute until bananas are mashed.

  2. Add ¼ cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, oats, ¼ cup sugar, milk, oil, yeast, salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes.

  3. Switch to the dough hook and gradually add remaining all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms. Knead on low speed for 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

  4. Shape dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  5. Grease a 12-cup bundt pan with 1 tablespoon melted butter.

  6. In a small bowl, combine remaining ½ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.

  7. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, pat into a 9-inch square, cut into 1-inch pieces, and roll into balls.

  8. Dip dough balls into remaining melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar. Layer evenly in prepared bundt pan.

  9. Cover and let rise for 1 hour until puffy. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  10. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown and set.

  11. Immediately invert onto a serving plate. Cool slightly before serving.
