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

  1. Preparation: Spray the interior of the crock pot with non-stick coating or line with a protective layer for easy cleanup.
  2. Roll Deconstruction: Quarter each cinnamon roll into bite-sized pieces, dispersing them evenly across the crock pot’s base, creating a textural foundation.
  3. Liquid Blend: Whisk eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl until perfectly smooth and fully integrated.
  4. Assembly: Pour the liquid mixture over the cinnamon roll fragments, ensuring complete coverage. Sprinkle chopped nuts throughout for added crunch and flavor complexity.
  5. 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.
  6. Finishing Touch: Rest the casserole for 5-10 minutes post-cooking. Generously drizzle the provided icing across the surface, creating a lustrous, appetizing appearance.
  7. 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.
