Ingredients
Cinnamon Rolls
- 2 cans of cinnamon rolls (12 oz each)
Custard Mixture
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Open the 2 cans of cinnamon rolls and set aside the included icing packets for later use.
- Cut Rolls: Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters to allow even cooking and layering.
- Prepare Crock Pot: Spray your crock pot with non-stick spray to prevent sticking, then place one can’s worth of quartered cinnamon rolls evenly in the bottom of the crock pot.
- Mix Custard: In a small bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon until smooth and well combined.
- Pour Custard: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls settled at the bottom of the crock pot.
- Add Remaining Rolls: Place the remaining quartered cinnamon rolls on top of the custard layer in the crock pot.
- Drizzle Icing: Drizzle one of the icing packets over the cinnamon rolls to infuse sweetness while cooking.
- Cook: Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 2 to 2 1/2 hours until the casserole is set and rolls are cooked through.
- Add Final Icing: Once cooked, remove the lid carefully and drizzle the remaining icing packet over the hot cinnamon roll casserole.
- Serve: Serve immediately for best texture and flavor, ideally with a glass of milk on the side. Enjoy your deliciously gooey cinnamon roll casserole!
Notes
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your crock pot model.
- Be careful not to overcook as it can dry out the casserole.
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey or brown sugar if preferred.
- For a richer custard, use whole milk or add a splash of cream.
- This casserole can be kept warm in the crock pot’s warming setting for up to 30 minutes before serving.
