Description
Crock Pot Cinnamon Roll Casserole blends comfort and sweetness in one delightful dish. Warm spices and gooey rolls create a morning treat that satisfies sweet cravings with minimal effort.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tubes (12.4 oz/350 g) refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup (120 ml/4 fl oz) heavy cream
- ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- ½ cup chopped pecans or raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Spray the interior of the crock pot with non-stick coating or line with a protective layer for easy cleanup.
- Roll Deconstruction: Quarter each cinnamon roll into bite-sized pieces, dispersing them evenly across the crock pot’s base, creating a textural foundation.
- Liquid Blend: Whisk eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl until perfectly smooth and fully integrated.
- Assembly: Pour the liquid mixture over the cinnamon roll fragments, ensuring complete coverage. Sprinkle chopped nuts throughout for added crunch and flavor complexity.
- Slow Cooking: Cover and cook on low temperature for 2.5-3 hours. The casserole is ready when the surface turns golden brown and the interior sets completely.
- Finishing Touch: Rest the casserole for 5-10 minutes post-cooking. Generously drizzle the provided icing across the surface, creating a lustrous, appetizing appearance.
- Serving: Scoop generous portions onto plates. Complement with hot coffee or fresh orange juice for a decadent morning meal.
Notes
- Prevent Sticking: Thoroughly spray the slow cooker with non-stick spray or use a liner to ensure easy removal and cleanup of the casserole.
- Uniform Cutting: Slice cinnamon rolls into consistent quarters to guarantee even cooking and balanced texture throughout the dish.
- Moisture Control: Whisk egg mixture thoroughly to create a smooth, well-integrated base that prevents dry spots and ensures a custardy consistency.
- Don’t Overcook: Watch carefully during the last 30 minutes of cooking to avoid burning or drying out the casserole, checking for a golden-brown top and set center.
