Invasion of the Gooey Rolls
January 29, 2008 at 3:38 pm | In blahblah |it all started because I always buy too many bananas and prefer them on the ripe side, but then I eat enough other stuff and don’t feel like snacking on bananas, so I have to use them up whichever possible way. we’ve all been there, right?
I decided to make rolls since I had the time, the means, and the need to keep myself occupied.
behold:
I just had one and if I could eat only one thing until the day I die? that might be it. the banana flavor is really subtle and that’s a good thing because I’m not the biggest banana-in-things fan. I know, why did I make banana rolls then? don’t ask…
I put some powdered coconut in the dough, the filling is made of coconut and pecans, and the glaze is made with coconut milk. maybe I should have called them coconut rolls then, eh?
I’ll type the recipe as soon as my brain manages to take a breather.
now for the lemon rolls pictured below?
well, my flickr friend Theresa asked about a lemon cinnamon roll recipe which she couldn’t find, so I figured I might as well come up with my own since I had one lemon to finish off before leaving here anyway…
the filling is rosewater-flavored, and I decided to cover the rolls with a lemon syrup-thing.
recipe also coming up soon, I promise. for now it’s back to running like a headless seitan sausage.

Yay! Those rolls look like they’ll be just the thing to brighten up these gray Philly days.
The rosewater - lemon combo in particular make me think of spring days to come, but I have to say I am a banana and coconut fan.

Woah, those sound like some killer flavor combinations. So creative, not to mention delicious-sounding!

Those 2 types of rolls look so lovely. :) Lemon-rosewater, what an interesting flavor combination!

I am also not a big fan of banana bread/muffin/cookies… But yours look delish and if you say the falvor is subtle… Because I do adore coconut in bread/muffins/cookies…
wonderful photos, too :-)

I love how you see a lemon and think you have to use it up (and then use it up in such a delicious creative way). ho, opportunity finder! I so so so want to try one, warm from the oven. mmmm rosewater.

thank you everyone! I always feel humbled when I see your super nice comments even when I’m bad at keeping up with all you guys’ awesome blogs. mea culpa! hopefully I’ll have time to catch up while I’m on vacation [of sorts].
anyway, the recipes have been typed up but I’m waiting to try one of the lemon rolls before posting them. the husband tried these and loved them, so I’m hopeful.
