An easy, 6-ingredient breakfast recipe using canned biscuits and a slow cooker. Perfect for holiday mornings, this set-it-and-forget-it method yields soft, gooey cinnamon rolls with minimal prep time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (8 biscuits)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted (for glaze)
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Lightly spray the inside of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Separate the biscuit dough into 8 individual rounds. Place them in a single layer in the bottom of the slow cooker, leaving small gaps between them.
  4. Sprinkle about half of the brown sugar mixture evenly over the biscuits, then pour half of the melted butter over the top.
  5. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and place it in the refrigerator overnight (8-10 hours). Do not turn it on yet.
  6. In the morning, take the slow cooker out of the fridge and turn it on to HIGH.
  7. Cook for 3 to 4 hours, checking at the 3-hour mark. The rolls should be golden brown and cooked through.
  8. While the rolls cook, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make the glaze.
  9. Once the rolls are done, turn off the slow cooker. Carefully lift them out with a spatula and place them on a serving plate.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the top while they are still warm. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not use self-rising biscuits as the leavening agents may react differently. Ensure the slow cooker is greased well to prevent sticking. The rolls can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free biscuits or vegan by using plant-based butter and milk. For best texture, do not overcrowd the pot.
