Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls
- Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and set aside the icing for later.
- Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters. This will help the rolls cook evenly and absorb all the sweet cinnamon flavor.
Step 2: Make the Custard Mixture
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Make sure everything is well-combined.
Step 3: Layer the Slow Cooker
- Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick spray or lightly grease it with butter.
- Layer the cut-up cinnamon rolls in the slow cooker, placing them in a single layer at the bottom.
- Pour the custard mixture over the cinnamon rolls, making sure it soaks into all the pieces. Use a spoon or spatula to gently press the rolls down to ensure even coverage.
Step 4: Cook the Casserole
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 2 to 3 hours or on HIGH for 1 to 1.5 hours, until the casserole is golden brown and set in the center. The cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker, so check the casserole around the 2-hour mark for doneness. The top should be slightly crispy, and the inside should be soft and cooked through.
Step 5: Add the Icing
- Once the casserole is done, remove it from the slow cooker and let it sit for a few minutes to cool slightly.
- Drizzle the cinnamon roll icing from the cans over the top of the casserole, allowing it to melt and create a sweet, gooey topping.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
- Serve your Slow Cooker Cinnamon Roll Casserole warm, topped with a drizzle of maple syrup (if desired) and a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra sweetness. It’s the perfect way to start the day or indulge in a sweet treat!
