Hear me out…

I love a delicious homemade batch of soft, gooey, cinnamon-y cinnamon rolls. 

But they can take hours to make. And I love to make them…for the right occasion. 

I got to thinking…how could I make a faster and easier version of cinnamon rolls…

Answer: AS BANANA BREAD. 

It starts with a basic banana bread recipe…then you add in cinnamon chips and white chocolate chips into the batter…then you top the baked banana bread with a cream cheese glaze. 

And you end up with this magical loaf of bread…
