Now back in the day, I had a little assistant to help me make these in 2012. She still helps in the kitchen, but how adorable is she??
How To Make Crock Pot Cinnamon Rolls With Biscuits:
Spray your crockpot with a non-stick cooking spray, I give this a spray because of the sugar cooking in the crockpot. You can also use a slow cooker liner to make clean-up easier.
Roll your biscuits into balls for baking.
Melt your butter in a bowl in your microwave.
Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
Roll your biscuit in the melted butter.
Next, 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 and cinnamon until well coated.
Lift the covered biscuit with a fork and place it into the bottom of your crockpot. I used a 4 quart round crockpot to make these in.
Once all the cinnamon sugar covered biscuits are in the crockpot, you could top them 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 over the cinnamon rolls in crock pot. 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, place a plate on top of your crock and flip the crock over so the cinnamon rolls flip out onto the plate. I love my oven gloves; they make it easier to work with hot dishes, Amazon has a great selection of oven 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.

Never thought you could make cinnamon rolls in the crock pot !!
Amazing, this looks really good. I’m not sure I could make this in the UK. I don’t know what the equivalent is to biscuits. Something that is found in the fridge section? That puzzles me!

I LOVE cinnamon rolls AND crock pots! Awesome post!
Wow. It looks so easy. It must be marvelous to wake up to that scent.
Why not use a crock pot liner so you don’t have to flip a crock pot. Nuts and dangerous flipping a crock pot! Otherwise great!
I never remember to buy the liners!! The liners should work on this recipe
Which biscuits? Grands or the smaller ones?
I used the regular ones if you do the Grands the cooking time maybe different.
I just stumbled upon this great looking recipe, I was wondering if you can or had anyone attempted to use frozen rolls that are thawed like Rhoades dinner rolls instead of biscuits?
I have not but I am sure they would work. Since those rolls rise so much I wouldn’t pack them in very close. If you try it would love to hear how it goes.
delicious
