July Brunch Dates – Peanut Butter Banana Cinnamon Rolls

Peanut butter AND banana wrapped up into a cinnamon roll? Yes Please! Cinnamon rolls make brunch so much better! They are ooey gooey, sweet, and so indulgent. An absolute favorite if you ask me but they take a while to make and to do it right.

I wanted to find a recipe that wouldn’t take overnight to create and would satisfy our cinnamon roll craving while also gluten free. This recipe boasts higher fiber, higher protein, and few calories that our all-purpose flour, sugar loaded, alternative.
