Instructions
- Prepare a 9-inch round baking pan by generously coating with non-stick spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Heat the oven to 350F (175C), ensuring precise temperature for optimal baking.
- Carefully unroll the cinnamon rolls from the can, separating them slightly in the greased pan and setting aside the icing packet.
- Gently pour French vanilla coffee creamer between the rolls, creating a moisture-rich baking environment.
- Craft a luscious mixture by whisking melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the sugar partially dissolves.
- Drizzle approximately two-thirds of the cinnamon-butter blend over the rolls, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Strategically place banana slices across and around the rolls, guaranteeing each serving includes fruity goodness.
- Distribute the remaining cinnamon-butter mixture over the bananas and rolls, creating an even coating.
- Sprinkle pecan chips generously, focusing on areas with butter mixture to maximize adhesion.
- Shield the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes, maintaining moisture and preventing over-browning.
- Uncover the rolls and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes until achieving a golden-brown top.
- Elevate the icing by combining the reserved packet with powdered sugar, French vanilla creamer, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, whisking until silky smooth.
- After 5 minutes of cooling, cascade the prepared icing over the warm rolls, allowing it to flow between and around each pastry.
- Enhance the presentation by artfully drizzling caramel sauce across the topped rolls.
- Serve immediately while warm to experience maximum flavor and optimal texture.
Notes
- Boost Moisture by using French vanilla creamer between rolls, creating a rich, tender texture that prevents dryness during baking.
- Customize Sweetness by adjusting the amount of brown sugar and caramel sauce to suit personal taste preferences or dietary needs.
- Enhance Texture by toasting pecans briefly before sprinkling to intensify their nutty flavor and add a delightful crunch to the rolls.
- Make Gluten-Free by substituting store-bought cinnamon rolls with a gluten-free alternative and ensuring all other ingredients are gluten-free certified.
