Just three ingredients is all it takes to turn store-bought crescent rolls into scrumptious, irresistible Nutella Cruffins!
One Sweet Swirl
Friends, you probably already know about my devotion to Nutella. Creamy, chocolatey, and hazelnut-y… I’m hungry just thinking about it! You have also probably caught on to my ever-growing cruffin obsession. Plain cruffins! Raspberry Cream Cheese Cruffins! So this Nutella Cruffins recipe seemed like the logical step in my love for both Nutella and cruffins. And I love how they turned out! A couple of my kids still prefer the original recipe, but I gotta say, these aren’t too shabby!
Store-bought crescent roll dough, a jar of Nutella, and some sugar for sprinkling. That’s it! Three ingredients, one really delicious, ever so slightly decadent breakfast treat you’ll want to make again and again.
How to Make Nutella Cruffins
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Roll out each sheet of the crescent roll dough until you have 3 larger rectangles that are slightly larger than what you started with and the perforated lines are blended back together. Spread about ¼ cup of Nutella onto each sheet.
Starting on the long end of the rectangle, roll up the dough into a log. Cut the dough in half, giving you shorter logs. Then cut each of those logs in half, lengthwise.
Repeat with the other two sheets. When you’re finished, you should have 12 pieces. Take each piece and wrap it around your finger to form the shape of a muffin, with the layered side facing out. Place each rolled piece in the greased muffin pan.
Bake for about 18-20 minutes on the middle rack of the oven, rotating the pan halfway through the baking time. Remove from the oven and immediately remove the cruffins from the pan. Sprinkle each cruffin generously with the sugar and place them on a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
