Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls (or similar)

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 eggs

Instructions

  • Prepare the Crock Pot: Spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  • Cut the Cinnamon Rolls: Open both cans of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters.
  • Layer the Rolls: Place one can’s worth of cinnamon roll pieces evenly on the bottom of the crock pot.
  • Mix the Custard: In a bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and eggs until smooth.
  • Assemble Layers: Pour half of the custard mixture over the first layer of cinnamon rolls. Spread one container of frosting over this layer (optional but delicious).

Notes

  • For easier prep, assemble the night before and refrigerate. Cook in the morning.
  • Use real maple syrup for a richer flavor, but pancake syrup works well too.
