Ingredients

DOUGH: PLACE IN BREAD MAKER IN ORDER GIVEN.
1 c lukewarm water
3 Tbsp butter, softened
1 medium mashed banana
1 large beaten egg
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp dry milk powder
4 c all-purpose or bread flour
3 Tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp dry active yeast powder (make a well in top of flour and pour yeast into well.)
1/2 c raisins (wait for bread machine to beep and then add raisins at the specified time.)
FILLING
1/3 c melted butter: set aside from other filling ingredients
1/4 c light brown sugar
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
STICKY TOPPING
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 stick butter
1/4 c light corn syrup or thick maple syrup
1 c coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts

Steps:

1. Place all of the dough ingredients in the bread maker pan in order given.
2. Press DOUGH CYCLE. This usually takes 1 1/2 hours.
3. When the machine beeps to add ingredients, add in your raisins. Check your manual for adding extra ingredients.
4. Make the topping on the stove in a medium saucepan. Over medium heat on stove, combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup or maple syrup.
5. Stir constantly until all ingredients are combined. Bring to a boil. Turn off heat.
6. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray.
7. Pour the hot topping into the pan taking care not to burn yourself as this is very hot.
8. Sprinkle the nuts over the topping evenly.
9. Mix the brown sugar for the filling with cinnamon and set aside.
10. Melt the butter for filling in a separate cup and set aside. You will need a pastry brush for the butter or can use your fingers if a brush isn't available. Make sure the butter has cooled if using fingers.
11. Prepare a baking mat with a generous portion of flour.

21. When all rolls are in the pan, cover the rolls with a clean damp cloth.
22. Place in a warm area for 30 minutes or until the dough has risen nicely. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
23. Bake the rolls for 20 minutes until lightly brown and firm to touch.
24. Remove from oven and carefully turn the pan of rolls over onto a large plate for cooling.
25. The nuts will be facing upward. They are very hot so do this carefully. Store any leftovers in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator.

Tips:

Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your sticky buns will be.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to rise quickly and evenly.
Roll the dough out thinly: This will help the sticky buns to cook evenly.
Spread the filling evenly over the dough: This will ensure that each sticky bun has a good amount of filling.
Bake the sticky buns until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
Let the sticky buns cool slightly before serving: This will make them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Banana sticky buns are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their sweet and gooey filling, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
