Recipe: Cinnamon buns

My friend Helô and her husband, Martin, started a super cool Instagram account where they post all the things food. I love cinnamon buns but had always been a little intimidated by the number of ingredients necessary to make them until I watched their video. They made it seem not so complicated. So, I tried baking them this past weekend and they turned out delicious! The recipe is below, but you should also take a look at their video, it's really fun!
