Description

This Crock Pot Cinnamon Roll Casserole is a warm, comforting breakfast dish perfect for lazy mornings or special occasions. Using store-bought cinnamon roll dough, this easy recipe layers sweet rolls with a rich egg custard, spices, and pecans, all slow-cooked to golden perfection in a crock pot. Topped with creamy icing, it makes a deliciously indulgent treat that requires minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale

Cinnamon Roll Base

  • 2 (12-ounce) tubes cinnamon roll dough, each cut into quarters

Egg Mixture

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half or whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Toppings

  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 containers of icing from cinnamon roll tubes (about 8 ounces total)

Instructions

  1. Spray the Crock Pot: Grease a 6-quart crock pot with cooking spray to prevent the casserole from sticking during slow cooking.
  2. Layer Cinnamon Rolls: Arrange the quartered cinnamon rolls evenly across the bottom of the prepared crock pot to form the base layer.
  3. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Pour Mixture: Slowly pour the prepared egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the crock pot to soak them thoroughly.
  5. Add Pecans: Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top to add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.
  6. Add Icing: Spoon one container of the cinnamon roll icing over the top of the pecans and mixture for added sweetness and creaminess while cooking.
  7. Cook: Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on LOW for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the casserole is golden brown on top and fully set in the center.
  8. Finish: Once cooking is complete, turn off the crock pot and spread the second container of icing over the hot casserole. Serve warm for the best taste.

Notes

  • Do not open the lid frequently during cooking to maintain consistent heat and ensure even baking.
  • If your crock pot runs hot, start checking the casserole around 2 hours to avoid overcooking.
  • For added fruitiness, consider adding fresh berries before pouring the egg mixture.
  • Use pecans or substitute with walnuts for different nutty flavors.
  • This casserole can be kept warm in the crock pot on the ‘keep warm’ setting for up to an hour before serving.
