Perfectly soft, gooey and fluffy.

If you're going to be inside -- hiding from the cold, darkness or rain -- you may as well have a cinnamon roll in your hand, right?

Cinnamon buns are warm, carby, satisfying and perfectly sweet. Pair with a tea and you are set, dear friends, for a delightful afternoon.

Here are six incredible cinnamon roll recipes to keep you nice and toasty. There's everything from a traditional bun to banana bread, Nutella and carrot cake cinnamon rolls. Swoon.

1. Nutella sticky buns with toasted almonds and nutella caramel

Let's get straight into it. Nutella cinnamon rolls. It's happening. Imagine Nutella caramel sauce at the base of a baking dish, with cinnamon and Nutella-stuffed buns placed on top, and baked until golden and pillowy. Then flip those buns over and there they are, in all their self-saucing Nutella glory.
