How to make Crock Pot Cinnamon Roll Casserole

Pop open those cinnamon roll cans and set aside the icing (that sugary gold is coming back later).
Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters—think bite-sized goodness.
Spray your crock pot generously with non-stick spray.
Toss in one can’s worth of cinnamon roll pieces to form the first layer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon. This custard mixture adds that soft, bread pudding-like texture.
Pour the mixture evenly over the first layer of cinnamon rolls.
Add the second can of cinnamon rolls on top.
Drizzle one packet of icing over the top layer.
Cover and cook on LOW for 2 to 2½ hours, until it’s cooked through but still wonderfully soft.
Just before serving, drizzle the second icing packet over the warm casserole.
Serve immediately—preferably with a glass of milk, hot coffee, or hey, even a mimosa!
