Decadent Cinnamon and Nutella Buns

I wanted to create a pretty decadent cinnamon bun treat. Next thing I know, I’m reaching for the nutella jar in the pantry.  Cinnamon and Nutella Buns?! Heck Yes!

It sure is delicious and the combination of cinnamon, hazelnut chocolate AND fudge sauce just gives all the warm feels, in all the right places.

How To Make Cinnamon and Nutella Buns

Firstly, let’s talk about the dough for these cinnamon buns. This dough recipe delivers a soft and fluffy bun. It consists of flour, butter, eggs, sugar, yeast and milk.

Making the dough is pretty easy and it only needs a little resting time before it can be shaped and baked.  While you wait for the dough to rise, you can quickly whip up the fudge sauce.

The addition of the nutella filling had me quite giddy at the thought of a gooey chocolatey center. Be sure to add a generous amount when you spread the dough. 

Finally, the “icing on the cake” would be this topping the cinnamons off with this very rich and sultry fudge sauce. Lastly, the sugar and cinnamon coating gives these cinnamon buns the perfect crunchy texture as you bite through them.
