Soft, tender cinnamon rolls cooked low and slow in a crockpot for a gooey, comforting treat that’s perfect for brunch or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (about 240g)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup whole milk (180ml), warmed slightly
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (about 57g)
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed (100g)
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (about 42g)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (60g)
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream (15-30ml)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt until evenly mixed.
  2. Pour in ¾ cup warm milk and ¼ cup melted butter. Stir until a soft dough forms; it will be slightly sticky but manageable.
  3. Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough into a 12×8 inch rectangle. Dust with flour if sticking.
  4. Spread 3 tablespoons softened butter evenly over the dough.
  5. Mix ½ cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the buttered dough.
  6. Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log.
  7. Cut the log into 8 equal rolls about 1.5 inches thick using a sharp knife or dental floss.
  8. Lightly grease the crockpot insert with butter or non-stick spray and arrange the rolls snugly inside.
  9. Cover and cook on low for 2 to 2.5 hours. Check after 2 hours; rolls should feel springy and cooked through.
  10. While rolls cook, whisk together ½ cup powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons milk, and ½ teaspoon vanilla to make glaze.
  11. Carefully remove rolls from crockpot, drizzle with glaze, and serve warm.

Notes

If crockpot runs hot, start checking at 1.5 hours to avoid overcooking. Keep lid sealed to retain moisture. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Vegan version can be made with coconut oil and plant-based milk. Leftovers reheat well in microwave or crockpot on warm.
