Bananas Foster Cinnamon Rolls (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cinnamon Roll Base

01 - 1 can Grand cinnamon rolls with icing
02 - 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
03 - ⅓ cup brown sugar
04 - ¼ cup French vanilla coffee creamer
05 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 1½ tablespoons pecan chips
08 - Store-bought caramel sauce
09 - 1-2 ripe bananas, sliced

→ Enhanced Icing

10 - Icing packet from cinnamon roll can
11 - ¾ cup powdered sugar
12 - 3 tablespoons French vanilla coffee creamer
13 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
14 - ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

# Instructions:

01 - Grease a 9-inch round baking pan or pie dish with non-stick cooking spray or a thin layer of melted butter.
02 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
03 - Open the can of cinnamon rolls, reserving the icing packet for later. Place the rolls in the greased baking pan, arranging them with a little space between each roll.
04 - Pour the French vanilla coffee creamer into the spaces between the cinnamon rolls. This will create a moist environment for baking and add flavor.
05 - In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is mostly dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
06 - Pour about two-thirds of the cinnamon-butter mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls, ensuring each roll gets coated.
07 - Arrange approximately 8 banana slices on top of and around the cinnamon rolls. Place them strategically so each serving will have some banana.
08 - Pour the remaining cinnamon-butter mixture over the bananas and cinnamon rolls, distributing it evenly.
09 - Sprinkle the pecan chips over the top of the rolls, focusing on areas with the butter mixture so they'll stick.
10 - Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
11 - Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
12 - While the rolls are cooling slightly, make the enhanced icing. In a medium bowl, combine the reserved icing packet from the can with powdered sugar, French vanilla creamer, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Whisk until smooth.
13 - Once the cinnamon rolls have cooled for about 5 minutes but are still warm, pour the icing evenly over the top, allowing it to drizzle down the sides and between the rolls.
14 - Finish by drizzling store-bought caramel sauce over the iced cinnamon rolls.
15 - Serve immediately while still warm for the best taste and texture.

# Notes:

01 - This recipe transforms ordinary canned cinnamon rolls into an extraordinary dessert-inspired breakfast treat.
02 - For the best bananas foster flavor, choose bananas that are ripe but still firm.
03 - The rolls can be reheated in the microwave for 15-20 seconds if not serving immediately.
04 - For an adult version, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of rum to the butter mixture before pouring over the rolls.
