Stuff a buttery crescent roll with banana and a schmear of Nutella, roll it in cinnamon sugar, and bake. This is the easiest recipe for happiness, in 10 minutes flat.Â
Am I the only one with a banana-Nutella addiction? The mini-Karen-angel on my shoulder says, “let’s be healthy Karen! Have a banana for a snack!” and the mini-devil-Karen on my other shoulder says, “Yes Karen…a banana WITH NUTELLA.” And thus I am led, carefully and surely, down the path to diabetes.
So then I just decided to throw in the towel and wrap the whole thing in buttery crescent roll dough. AND roll it in straight up sugar. Giving up never tasted so right.
Soooo we’re doing a kitchen remodel. Kind of. I think. Eric and I are the worst at making life decisions. (Yes, choosing backsplash counts as a life decision.)
Can you see the WHITE CARPET in my dining room?? That’s what spurred this whole thing. It may look white from here, but trust me, it’s more a light shade of 2-year-old-eating-spaghetti by now, and getting worse every day. (Although I should just count my blessings that there is no carpet in the kitchen.)
Eric’s parents are coming to visit us this week and his Dad knows how to lay flooring, so we decided if we were going to do it, now was the time. My cousin Lani, who is my unofficial interior designer, convinced us to paint the cabinets and replace the counters while we’re at it. The cabinets will be white, with a subway tile backsplash. I want white quartz for the counters, Eric wants grey. What do you think? The floors will be dark brown wood. We can’t decide.
Wish us luck! Whether your Valentine’s day is filled with lovers or rom-coms, I hope it has at least 3 Nutella-Banana Crescents!

Nutella and Banana Stuffed Crescent Rolls
Ingredients
- 1 8-count can crescent rolls
- 1/4 Nutella
- 2 bananas
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1-3 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray a baking sheet or line with parchment paper or a silpat.
- Open the can of crescent rolls and unroll.
- Spread some Nutella on the fat end of each roll. I didn't measure. Like a half tablespoon or so.
- Cut each banana into 4 segments. Place one on each roll.
- Roll up the dough and seal using your fingers. You don't want all your Nutella oozing out!
- In a shallow bowl stir together the cinnamon and sugar.
- Roll each one in the cinnamon and sugar. Coat it well!
- Place the rolls on the baking sheet.
- Bake at 375 for about 12 minutes, or until browned on the bottom.
- Eat hot! These are best served right away. If you want to eat them later, I would definitely throw them back in the oven until warmed.

Made these the other day when friends came over. They loved them! One ate four in a row. They are a definite crowd pleaser and smell incredible while baking. Will definitely be making these again! Thanks for the recipe ;)
Four in a row is basically how I roll with these rolls. I just cannot stop. So glad you and your friends enjoyed them! Thanks for returning to leave feedback! :)
Tried this tonight and it was AMAZING! The nutella and banana combo is so good.. only thing that could make it better is peanut butter ! :-D
What! Why didn’t I think of that! You are a genius. I have to try this.
I’m so happy for you!!! I hear you though on life decisions, it’s sooo hard! I could pretend to give some good interior design advice, but I stink at decorating!! :) Love these nutella and banana rolls!!!
What a fun idea, Karen! Yay on the kitchen remodel! Our house is 30+ and it is just now getting a (long over due) remodel – soo exciting, but tiresome at the same time! Good luck!! :)
Oh my goodness, I feel you on the decision making. I’ve told my husband we could never build a house because I would be so overwhelmed with all the decisions. I can barely choose a paint color for one room, let alone doorknobs and faucets and cabinet pulls and countertops and flooring and OMG I’m about to have a meltdown just thinking about it. I have a sneaking suspicion I would have no trouble at all devouring a stack of these treats. You made this way too easy for me.
These look so decadent and amazing. There is nothing like bananas and Nutella. I even like to get my mochas with a little shot of banana flavor sometimes to mimic that flavor. Can’t wait to try these!
Go for the quartz.. the quartz! My couz just moved into her new house with quartz and oh my! It is gorgeous! And I know… that damn backslash. Rob and I suffer from analysis paralysis. We still have painted drywall for our backsplash after 14 years!! OMGeee. (bug eyed emoji). Rip that carpet out too.. what were they thinking?! I’m salivating over these crescent rolls – GAH! I’m having to gaze at them while I’m hungry and I just want to rip into my computer screen. Jeeze!! Thank you my dear! I can’t wait to see the after!
These look incredible! I want these right out of the oven :) Pinning!
Good luck with the kitchen remodel!! I don’t know why people think that carpet under the dining room is a good thing! I’ve lived in several apartments where that was the case! LOOOVE these crescent rolls, Karen! Anything with nutella calls my name!
These look so easy and delicious! Love a fast sweet recipe that my kids will enjoy. As far as the backsplash goes, I would just be careful not to have too much white. I might consider the grey… Is it even possible to have too much white?
I don’t think we have crescent rolls in the UK, what kind of pastry is that? x

Hi Lauren! Any kind of puff pastry dough would work. The rolls are meant to taste like dinner rolls (but more buttery) when you don’t stuff them with nutella. (That is to say, they are not overly sweet). Any kind of dough would work for this recipe though. Check the refrigerated section or the freezer section at the grocery store!
