Easy Nutella Cinnamon Buns

I am not a good cook (ask my boyfriend about the lasagna soup incident), but I can bake.  With the holidays approaching I wanted to make something sweet to bring for work.  I had originally planned on making Alton Brown's Coconut Cake, but it takes at least two days.  Three if you do it right.  With school finals, Christmas shopping to do, and presents to wrap, I just didn't have the time.  So I needed something fast, easy, and delicious.  Low and behold, I invented my own version of the cinnamon bun.  I give you the super easy Nutella Cinnamon Roll!

Absolute Deliciousness

These are ridiculously easy to make and you probably already have most of the ingredients.  You don't have to make your own dough.  I used store bought crescent roll dough.  When they are done, leave them in the pan and cover with whatever kind of frosting you want.  I decided to skip the frosting (the nutella is already pretty sweet).

Everything you need

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease/butter/spray a 9-inch round pan.  Mix the butter and Nutella to combine.  Unroll the crescent roll sheets and cut each in half.  Spread the dough on a flat surface like a cutting board.  Coat with the Nutella mixture and sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to taste.

Roll the dough into logs then cut into one-inch thick slices.  Place in pan, making sure the dough touches other rolls.  Bake 20 mins at 350 degrees.
