FAQs & Tips

Is there a substiute for the whipping cream? 

Other suggestions include heavy cream or half and half. Make this vegan by substituting coconut cream, coconut milk, oat milk, or a nut milk like almond milk.

Is there a substiute for the maple syrup?

I would suggest honey or your preferred sugar.

Do you need to grease the slow cooker?

Yes! Don’t forget this step. To prevent sticking, grease your slow cooker non-stick spray, oil, or butter before adding the ingredients.

Can you make this ahead of time?

Yup. You can prepare the cinnamon casserole the night before by assembling the ingredients in the slow cooker insert and storing it in the fridge. In the morning, place the insert in the slow cooker and cook as directed.

How will you know when it’s done?

The casserole is ready when the cinnamon roll pieces are puffed up and the center is set. A knife or toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean.

What happens if you forget to add the towl to cover the casserole?

Nothing! The cinnamon roll casserole will still cook properly. It may be a little wet on top though. It should dry as it cools.  

How do you store leftovers?

Store leftover slow cooker cinnamon roll casserole in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. 

What size slow cooker did I use?

I used my 3.5-quart slow cooker for this recipe. Feeding a larger crowd? Double the recipe and use a larger slow cooker.
