Why Make Cinnamon Roll Casserole in the Crock Pot?

The slow, gentle heat ensures the rolls stay soft and gooey all the way through—no overbaked edges or undercooked centers like you sometimes get in the oven. Plus, the icing melts into the casserole as it cooks, creating that irresistible “center of the cinnamon roll” texture in every bite.

Slow cooker cinnamon rolls is also completely hands-off, which is always a plus in a busy household!

Ingredient Spotlight: Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls 

I tested this easy cinnamon roll casserole recipe using 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls, cut into quarters. I used (arguably the best cinnamon rolls) Pillsbury Grands with Cream Cheese Icing cinnamon rolls!

This is a refrigerated canned cinnamon roll recipe. I have not tested this recipe with frozen cinnamon rolls. Using different cinnamon rolls for this recipe may yield different results. 

Directions to Make Slow Cooker Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Casserole

1. Finish with the second container of icing before serving and dig in!
2. Prep your slow cooker with nonstick spray so nothing sticks—this is a must.
3. Cut the cinnamon roll dough into quarters and layer them evenly in the Crock Pot. Set the icing aside.
4. Whisk the eggs, dairy, syrup, vanilla, and spices until smooth, then pour over the cinnamon roll pieces, making sure everything is covered.
5. Spread one icing container over the top before cooking—this melts into the casserole and makes it extra gooey.
6. Cook on LOW, covered, until the casserole is set. Don’t lift the lid while cooking!
7. Let it rest uncovered for a few minutes—if it looks a bit liquidy, that’s just the melted icing reabsorbing.

Crock Pot Cinnamon Roll Casserole Recipe Tips! 

• When you open the lid to your slow cooker it may look liquidy but it’s the icing. The icing has melted and looks like a clear/cloudy liquid. The icing will return to its creamy form. Let your crockpot sit with the lid off to let the liquid form back up to icing.

• Don’t forget to spray your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
