As the mom of the house, I love how easy they are to make and also they are made from ingredients I either have on hand or get for cheap on grocery sales!!!   (I have included affiliate links to products I love.

A couple of years ago our oven died and I had some refrigerated biscuits I didn’t want to waste. I, of course, went looking on Pinterest and found the Get Crooked website, word of caution the site sucks you in as bad as Pinterest. That day I found the recipe for Cinnamon Rolls in the crockpot!!!  We have also since made Cinnamon Roll Casserole since, so it’s a toss-up for us which is our favorite.  (see that recipe -> here)

Crock Pot Cinnamon Rolls Ingredients:

• 1 can of biscuits
• 1/4 c. melted butter
• 1/2 c. brown sugar
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• pecan pieces (optional) <-I did not do these

Glaze:

• 1 1/3 c. powdered sugar
• 2 Tbsp milk (I had to keep slowly adding more but this is a great amount to start with)
• 1 Tsp of vanilla

Now back in the day, I had a little assistant to help me make these.  She still helps in the kitchen but how adorable was she??

Crock Pot Cinnamon Rolls Directions:

Spray your crockpot with a non-stick cooking spray, I give these two sprays because of the sugar

Roll your biscuits into balls

Melt your butter in a bowl

Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl

Roll your biscuit in butter

Then using a fork to lift your buttered biscuit out of the bowl and into the bowl of brown sugar and cinnamon mixture

Roll the biscuit in the brown sugar cinnamon until well coated

Lift with a fork and place into your crockpot

Once all the covered biscuits are in the crockpot you could cover with pecans if desired (My family isn’t a fan of pecans)

Cover the crockpot with a paper towel and then place the lid on top, this will help prevent condensation from dripping on the rolls while cooking

Cook on low 2-3 hrs, I set a timer for 1 1/2 hours to start checking them, they finish fast and you can end up with burnt sugar on them if you don’t watch them.

Using oven gloves (I have the ones below and they work out great plus they are a great price ->here, plus since they are black they don’t stain much) place a plate on top of your crock and flip the crock over so the cinnamon rolls flip out on to the plate

Extreme Heat Resistant BBQ Oven Safety Gloves

Place another plate over the cinnamon rolls and flip again so the soft part is on top to be iced

Mix glaze ingredients (powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla)  in a small bowl (add more/less milk as needed) and pour over warm rolls.

The taste is amazing and seriously they are so easy to make the kids do a lot of the work for it.
