Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls (16.3 oz each), with icing packets reserved
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional: Chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: Extra cinnamon-sugar for sprinkling
  • Optional: Maple syrup for serving

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a 5-6 quart slow cooker with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
  2. Open both cans of cinnamon rolls and set icing aside. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and spread evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  4. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces, ensuring all are coated.
  5. Drizzle melted butter over the top.
  6. Add optional toppings such as chopped nuts or extra cinnamon-sugar, if desired.
  7. Cover and cook on LOW for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the casserole is set in the middle and edges are just starting to brown. Start checking at the 2-hour mark.
  8. If edges brown too quickly, rotate the insert halfway through cooking. If the center is still wet after 2.5 hours, cook in 15-minute increments.
  9. Turn off the slow cooker and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes.
  10. Microwave reserved icing packets for about 10 seconds, then drizzle over the casserole.
  11. Serve warm, optionally topped with extra nuts, powdered sugar, or a scoop of ice cream.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and butter, and ensure your cinnamon rolls are dairy-free. For gluten-free, use gluten-free cinnamon rolls. Add-ins like pumpkin puree, apples, or nuts can be mixed in for variety. Always cook on LOW to avoid burning the edges. Let rest before serving for easier scooping.
