Say hello to Crock Pot Cinnamon Roll Casserole. AKA the most delicious way to eat cinnamon rolls ever. It only takes mintues to prep and cooks up crispy around the edges and gooey in the middle.
I first saw this recipe on Pinterest several years ago. It was a pin from my friend Cris’s blog Recipes That Crock. It’s originally a recipe from Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooker Christmas Favorites.
Crock Pot Cinnamon Roll Casserole gets a little bit crispy around the edges but stays a little gooey in the center so you get the best of both worlds.
As a child my brother’s favorite breakfast was Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls. My mother would make them for him all the time.
Easy To Make With Cinnamon Rolls
This recipe is so easy to make using those same refrigerated cinnamon rolls. Each unbaked cinnamon roll is cut in quarters and mixed with an egg, maple syrup, and half-and-half mixture. Almost like a cinnamon roll bread pudding.
I adapted the recipe somewhat, using one less egg, a little more nutmeg, half-and-half instead of whipping cream, and I added a few pecans.
The result is a super delicious breakfast casserole that is perfect for the holidays. Or any day. 🙂

Looks delicious! I was about to ask a question, but I did check the comments and I found the answer there. 🙂
It came out great. Should left overs be stored in fridge or left out like normal cinnamon rolls?
Has anyone tried it with the apples yet? Curious to know what kind of apples were used. The raisin idea is good but hubby not a fan
Could this be baked in the oven? What temp and how long would you recommend?
Trying it in the oven now. Will let you know how it does!
How did it work Amy?
Well?? How did it work? What temperature, and how long did it take?
After the 3 hrs too was still gooey so I put it in the Oven for 10 mins on 350 and it worked ! Added a top layer of icing and helped
I made this more than once in my household. It doesn’t last very long. I have also made this for my Dialysis Nurses and a few fellow patients. It was a hit. I will say that I have tried the Pillsbury Brand as well as the no name brand. I will always stick with the Pillsbury Brand. It turns out better. I only used 2 eggs instead of 3 that it calls for in the recipe. As for the icing, we love icing on our cinnamon rolls so I make “The Perfect Cinnamon Roll Icing Recipe” that you will find at Allrecipes.com. Thank you Christin for this amazing recipe
Is it supposed to have a gooey, chewy texture? The edges were crisped and cooked but the middle tasted like they weren’t cooked at all.
Can I cook on high for 2 hours?
Thi king of addi g a csn of apple pie filling ???anybody try that?
No but that was one of my first thoughts!
Can I cook on high for 2 hours?
This is a good recipe, I adapted it by adding raisins plumped in water before baking. My mother loves the old Pillsbury cinnamon raisin rolls that are no longer available so this brought back memories for her.
