This overnight cinnamon roll casserole cooks while you sleep.

Homemade cinnamon rolls are irresistible, but sometimes you crave that cinnamon sugar flavor but need a shortcut. You could make Hawaiian rolls cinnamon rolls, puff pastry cinnamon rolls or our cinnamon roll biscuit bake.

Or you could make slow cooker cinnamon roll casserole and sleep while it cooks. Sleep wins out for me, every time. It works best with a slow cooker that is programmable, so you can set it for 3 hours and keep it on warm the rest of the night.

This crock pot cinnamon roll casserole is meant to be a breakfast casserole, but really, with those gooey cinnamon roll pieces and cream cheese icing, it can be a dessert, too! It’s especially good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Wondering what to serve with cinnamon roll casserole? Try our breakfast potatoes, breakfast sausage, egg bites or egg frittata.

And next, try our French toast casserole, Hawaiian roll breakfast casserole and cinnamon rolls and apples!

Enjoy! -Julie

Ingredients Needed

ingredients for cinnamon roll breakfast casserole on a table

Cinnamon rolls. This is the refrigerated kind in the canister. Use Pillsbury cinnamon rolls or your favorite store brand.
Heavy whipping cream. Yes you can use milk, but heavy cream adds an irresistible richness.
Eggs. This holds it all together, but there are only 4, so it won’t taste eggy.
Maple syrup. Because every breakfast needs a hint of maple, right?
Cinnamon. Added cinnamon gives a homemade flavor to the store bought cinnamon rolls.

Notes

Recipe additions: If you want something a little extra, try a sprinkle of bacon or pecans (or walnuts) on top before baking for a little crunch. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the egg/milk mixture if you’d like.
If you don’t care for the store bought sugar glaze, you can make your own powdered sugar glaze. You could also use a drizzling of our cream cheese cinnamon roll icing.
