CROCKPOT CINNAMON ROLL CASSEROLE INGREDIENTS

- ½ cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground 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 THIS CROCKPOT CINNAMON ROLL CASSEROLE RECIPE
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 non-stick spray.
PRO TIP:
You can also buy a disposable crock pot liner to make clean up easier. We’d still recommend spraying with cooking spray before adding your ingredients.
STEP TWO: Cut cinnamon rolls into quarters and place them evenly in the bottom of your slow cooker.
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 egg mixture evenly over the top of the cinnamon rolls.
STEP FIVE: Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on low heat for 3 hours. Cinnamon rolls should be golden brown along the edges of the casserole 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 casserole.
HOW TO SERVE
Wake up Christmas morning (or any other morning) to the heavenly smell of this delicious breakfast casserole. The entire family will gobble it up. Add a creamy whipped hot chocolate or homemade pumpkin spice latte on the side for a decadent drink.
