Ingredients

Scale

Cinnamon Roll Base

  • 2 (12-ounce) tubes cinnamon roll dough, each cut into quarters

Egg Mixture

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half or whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Topping

  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 containers of icing (included with cinnamon rolls)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crock Pot: Grease a 6-quart crock pot with cooking spray to ensure the casserole does not stick during cooking.
  2. Layer Cinnamon Rolls: Evenly place the cinnamon roll quarters across the bottom of the crock pot, forming a base layer.
  3. Mix Egg Custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half or whipping cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Pour Egg Mixture: Slowly pour the spiced egg mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces, ensuring they soak evenly.
  5. Add Pecans: Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top of the soaked cinnamon rolls and egg custard.
  6. Add First Icing Layer: Spoon one container of the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls evenly on top of the pecans and egg mixture.
  7. Cook in Crock Pot: Cover the crock pot and cook on LOW heat for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the casserole is golden brown and set in the center.
  8. Finish and Serve: Turn off the crock pot once cooking is complete, then spoon the second container of icing evenly over the warm casserole. Serve immediately for a gooey, decadent breakfast treat.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your crock pot’s heat settings and size.
  • You can substitute half-and-half with whole milk or heavy cream for richer flavor.
  • For added texture, feel free to sprinkle extra pecans or even walnuts before serving.
  • This recipe is best served warm but can be reheated gently in the microwave.
  • Use sugar-free icing to reduce overall sugar intake if desired.
