Slow Cooker Cinnamon Rolls
Slow Cooker Cinnamon Rolls? Â Is this possible? Â Oh YES! Â Totally possible. Â Totally indulgent. Â Totally easy. Â You need these in your life. Â Trust me.
Mmmm, Cinnamon Rolls. Â In the slow cooker though? Â Oh yes!
As soon as I saw this recipe in Gooseberry Patch’s Slow-Cooker Favorites, I knew I had to get in the action.
Not only was it a simple shortcut recipe but hello – did you hear the works slow cooker? Â That just turns one simple recipe into an even simpler recipe. Â Imagine that.
The results were great – perfect for a lazy Saturday morning… or a busy weeknight too. Â I’m definitely all for breakfast for dinner.
Here’s what you need:
In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of melted butter + 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract; set aside. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Roll canned biscuits in butter mixture, then in brown sugar mixture until well coated.
Place the coated biscuits in a slow cooker lightly sprayed with non stick cooking spray.
Sprinkle with some chopped pecans if that’s your sort of thing… or leave them off if it’s not. Â Pecans are definitely my thing… so in they go.
Place a paper towel on top of the slowcooker & cover with the lid.
Cook on low for 2-3 hours. Â I found right at 2 hours was perfect, so be careful not to overcook.
You can leave them un-frosted – or frost them. Totally up to you!  If you decide to frost them, mix together 1 1/3 cup of powdered sugar with 2 teaspoons of milk & 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.. then drizzle it on top.  I actually served my glaze on the side for everyone’s dipping pleasure.  🙂
These cinnamon rolls are so good. Â I suppose you could also make these in the oven, but they surely wouldn’t be as gooey as what the slow cooker process does. Â Oh my… super yum.
There are SO many great recipes in Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooker Fall Favorites. Perfect for the fall, or quite honestly – any time of year. Tons really. Â I’m totally in love with this cookbook!

I’m always on the look out for yummy slow cooker recipes!
I appreciated and loved waking up to the smell of my grandma’s homemade cinnamon rolls as a child. Unfortunately, as much as I enjoy cooking, I don’t have her patience when it comes to baking – especially if it requires starting at 5:00 am! This recipe is right up my alley! Thank you!
Just had to let you know that I tried out this recipe yesterday & wow was it delicious! My husband kept commenting on how good they were. To make it extra special, I used Cinnabon flavored coffee creamer I had in my fridge instead of the milk for the glaze (plus, I had to use more than the 2 t as stated in the recipe to get it to a thin enough consistency).
Haven’t tried it yet but it looks amazing and seems easy!! Â Exactly what I’m looking for Â
