Crock-Pot Cinnamon Sweet Roll Casserole

Slow Cooker Cinnamon Sweet Roll Casserole

This easy recipe was a huge hit with my family when I made it for brunch one Sunday morning. Because it uses refrigerated cinnamon rolls it comes together super quick in your slow cooker.

The cinnamon roll dough is cut into bite sized pieces, much like you would for a monkey bread, and then a custard is created with eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla. Then, to take this recipe over the top, chopped pecans are added on top to give everything a lovey crunch.

You just cook this casserole for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours until the dough is done.

We served this sweet roll casserole with scrambled eggs, cooked bacon and sausage and delicious orange juice for a brunch that was memorable and yummy.

Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions

What Kind Of Cinnamon Rolls Are Best To Use In This Casserole?

In this recipe we used 2 (8 count) cans of refrigerated Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls. You of course can use another brand of refrigerated canned cinnamon rolls such as Annie’s Organic Cinnamon Rolls, Immaculate Baking Organic Cinnamon Rolls, or your grocery’s generic brand.

Can I Omit The Pecans If I Am Allergic To Nuts?

If you have a nut allergy you can easily leave out the chopped pecans. Of course be sure to read the ingredient list on whatever brand of canned cinnamon rolls you decide to use to make sure they too are nut free or not processed in a facility that handles nuts.

Can I Use A Dairy-Free Milk In This Recipe?

You can use 1/2 cup of your favorite dairy-free milk alternative in this recipe instead of the 1/2 cup of milk. And because this is a sweet recipe you can even use a sweetened and/or vanilla flavored dairy-free milk and it will still come out great. So go ahead and use almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, hemp milk, oat milk or whatever brand of of milk you like!

    Do you have to line the bottom of your crockpot?

    Sounds wonderful. Will try it. BTW “pour” is what you meant I think, because poor means “having little money or worldly goods”.
    Thanks for sharing.

      Boo… I hate when people are spelling/grammar Nazis, when someone is doing a wonderful service for FREE. BTW, stove calling kettle black, because you are missing a comma.

      On another note… Crock-Pot Ladies, I’m going to try this one!

    When you ask for an 8 ct. of refrig. cinnamon rolls, do you mean like the pillsbury ones? Or do they have to be baked already? So already in bread form??? Thanks!

      Refrigerated Pillsbury Type ones. The ones that are not cooked yet.

    How does the egg mixture combine with the dough of refrigerated rolls??

    Reply
    • Lady Katie says

      April 6, 2014 at 4:06 PM

      It does not really combine. But the eggs cook in and around the rolls. Similar to any of the other egg/milk casseroles.

    Can you double this recipe? If someone has tried this, how does it affect the cooking time?

      Hi April, I am not sure that this particular recipe would work doubled unless you have a very large slow cooker. The cinnamon rolls need quite a bit of room to cook. Putting too much dough in the slow cooker would probably result in undercooked cinnamon rolls.

          Thanks for catching that Franny! After consulting the original notes from testing this recipe it is 1/2 cup milk. I have gone ahead and edited the notes above the recipe.

    Could I halve this recipe and cook in a 4 qt. crockpot? 8 servings is too much for 2 people.

      While we have not tested this recipe halved it should work. If you give it a try Joan, be sure to come on back and let us know how it worked out for you!
