Crockpot Cinnamon Roll Casserole Ingredients

- 2 (5-count) tubes Grands Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls cut into quarters
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- cream cheese frosting from cinnamon roll package
Substitutions and Additions
APPLE: To make these cinnamon rolls even tastier, you can add apples. Add a layer of apples on the cinnamon roll or scatter them randomly in the mixture.
BROWN SUGAR AND BANANA: For extra goodness, before you add the frosting, add sliced bananas and a little brown sugar. Then add the frosting for even more flavor in this tasty breakfast.
MAPLE SYRUP: Add an extra sweet twist with 2 tablespoons maple syrup mixed into the egg mixture.
How to Make Crockpot Cinnamon Roll Casserole
PRO TIP: You can even make these crock pot cinnamon rolls an overnight recipe if you have a timer on your slow cooker. Simply schedule it to start around three hours before breakfast would be served and you will have a gorgeous smell to wake up to first thing in the morning!
STEP ONE: Spray the inside of a 6-quart crockpot with cooking spray.
PRO TIP: You can also buy a disposable crockpot liner to make cleaning up easier. We’d still recommend spraying with cooking spray.
STEP TWO: Place cinnamon roll quarters evenly in the bottom of the crockpot.
STEP THREE: In a medium mixing bowl add eggs, heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk together until well combined.
STEP FOUR: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top of the cinnamon rolls.
STEP FIVE: Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on low for 3 hours. Cinnamon rolls should be golden brown along the edges and no longer gooey in the middle.
PRO TIP: Put a paper towel under the lid of the slow cooker. It helps with the condensation drips.
STEP SIX: Once done, spoon the icing over the top of the cinnamon rolls.
How to Serve Crockpot Cinnamon Roll Casserole
With just the right amount of sweetness and cinnamon, serve your cinnamon rolls with creamy whipped hot chocolate or homemade pumpkin spice latte. If you have a timer on your slow cooker you can schedule it to start about three hours before breakfast will be served and wake up to the glorious smell of cinnamon rolls in the morning.
Storage
IN THE FRIDGE: Make sure the casserole is cooled then you can store it in the fridge for up to five days. Pop it in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to serve.
IN THE FREEZER: You can freeze this delicious treat before you add the packet of icing. Leave it to cool then pop it in an airtight container. Freeze for up to three months then defrost to serve. Heat up in the oven and add the frosting.
