A simple and delicious cinnamon roll casserole perfect for brunch or breakfast. This recipe uses canned dough for a quick and easy preparation, and can be made overnight.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12.2 ounce) package refrigerated cinnamon roll dough
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Separate the cinnamon roll dough into individual rolls and cut each roll into quarters. Place the pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
  4. Beat in the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish.
  6. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Remove the plastic wrap and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and lightly golden.
  9. While the casserole is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth to create the icing.
  10. Once the casserole is out of the oven, drizzle the icing over the warm cinnamon roll casserole.
  11. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker version, grease your slow cooker and place the cinnamon roll pieces in the bottom. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the top. Cook on low for 2-3 hours or on high for 1.5-2 hours. Let cool slightly before drizzling with icing.
  • You can also make this a 5 ingredient cinnamon casserole by omitting the cream cheese and using a can of crescent rolls, a can of cinnamon rolls, eggs, milk, and powdered sugar for the icing.
  • This gooey cinnamon breakfast bake is best served warm.
