Instructions
Grilled Bananas
  1. Peel bananas. Cut off ends to create equal lengths. Slice off top 1/3 lengthwise.
  2. Heat grill to high. Brush cut side of bananas with melted butter. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Grill, cut side down until deep dark grill marks. Set aside until to cool while making bread dough.
Cinnamon Bread Dough
  1. In a large mixing bowl, mix together 1½ cups of the flour and yeast. Put the milk, ¼ cup of the sugar, salt, ¼ cup butter and water into a microwave safe container; heat in microwave to 120º. Lightly beat egg and add to flour mixture along with milk mixture. Beat with a wooden spoon until mixture becomes smooth. Add remaining flour a little at a time, until mixture is no longer sticky. Place on a floured board and knead 3-5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  2. Place dough into a clean and oiled bowl. Cover and let rest 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 375º. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Punch dough down. Roll into a 14” x 10” rectangle. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with ¼ cup cinnamon-sugar mixture and dark brown sugar. Cut into ¾ inch strips. Wrap grilled bananas with dough. Place on parchment lined pan. Brush tops with beaten egg.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  5. Remove from baking sheet immediately and drizzle with Caramel Sauce and Cream Cheese Drizzle. Sprinkle each wrap with 2 tsp of the finely chopped pecans.
  6. Serve while still warm.
Caramel Sauce
  1. In a heavy, deep saucepan, stir together sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Do not stir; allow the mixture to bubble until it turns a deep amber color (watch carefully so it does not burn); it will take about 10 minutes. Heat cream in the microwave just until hot (about 20 seconds). Remove caramel from the heat and slowly (in a small stream) pour the cream into the caramel stirring constantly.
  2. Pour caramel into a bowl; set aside until plating.
Cream Cheese Drizzle
  1. Whisk together until smooth. Keep at room temperature until time to drizzle onto wraps. Hint: After mixed, place in a small plastic bag and snip a tiny bit off the corner of the bag. Squeeze onto banana wraps.
