How to Make Homemade Cinnamon Rolls in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

For years I have been making homemade cinnamon rolls…almost 11 years to be exact. You see, the first time I made them was right before mine and Michael’s first date. Imagine his surprise when he received a pan of freshly made cinnamon rolls on top of the gift of going on a date with me! 😉 When thinking up ideas for recipes, I decided to try to come up with this Homemade Crock Pot Cinnamon Roll recipe. It was a HUGE hit at my house, and I hope it is at yours as well!

I wasn’t sure how my original oven recipe would do in the crock pot, so I decided to use Momma’s yeast roll recipe as a base to start from, and tweak to become this amazing recipe.

If you are new to baking, it can be scary to try and make something from scratch. Trust me, I understand. However, this is a pretty straight forward recipe. Take a deep breath, read through the recipe instructions slowly and take it one step at a time. You can do this! Seriously, if I can learn how to make things from scratch, you can too! (I once “made” cookies that refused to bake and struggled with making Hamburger Helper when I first started living on my own. So, I truly do understand being scared of cooking and baking.) I have faith in you and know you will love this recipe!

What You Will Need

Cinnamon Roll Ingredients Needed

Icing Ingredients Needed

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

  • Initial Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • First Rising Time: 30 to 45 minutes, depending on how quickly your dough rises

Ingredients

  • 1 Package Dry Yeast
  • ¼ Cup Warm Water
  • 1 Cup Milk scalded
  • ¼ Cup Oil
  • 1 Cup Sugar divided
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3.5 Cups Flour divided
  • 1 large Egg beaten
  • 5 tablespoons butter melted
  • cinnamon

Icing

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2.5 tablespoons milk (2-3 tablespoons depending how thick you want your icing to be)
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons Almond Extract (We love a stronger almond flavor in the icing. If you do not, feel free to start with less than 2 and add a bit at a time until you reach the desired flavoring.)

Instructions

  • Dissolve your yeast in warm water and set aside.
  • Mix your scalded milk with your oil, sugar and salt and let cool to lukewarm.
  • Add 1½ cups sifted flour to your your milk mixture.
  • Then add your yeast and beaten egg, mixing until well combined.
  • Blend into your mixture 1-2 cups of flour until a soft dough forms.
  • Form into a ball and place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat.
  • Set in warm place until your dough is 1½ to double in size.
  • Flatten with a rolling pin into a rectangle with about 1/4 inch thickness on a floured surface.
  • Spread your butter evenly across your dough, sprinkle sugar and cinnamon evenly across the top (use as little or as much cinnamon as you desire).
  • Starting on the far long end, tightly roll your dough into a long log.
  • Cut dough log into 12 rolls. (To make it easy, I cut my log in half. Then I cut each half in half, making quarters. Then I cut the quarters into three rolls each.)
  • Place the 12 rolls spaced evenly in a lightly greased casserole crock pot.
  • Cover and cook on low until rolls have doubled in size.
  • Once rolls have doubled in size, wipe the condensation off of your lid, place paper towels or a flour sack tea towel pulled tightly under your lid and change heat setting to high.
  • Cook on high for one hour to one hour 15 minutes, turning your insert halfway through if your unit does not cook evenly, until the rolls are done
  • If desired, place rolls on the lower rack with your broiler on high for 1-2 minutes, until tops are slightly golden. *WATCH CONTINUALLY*
  • Mix together icing ingredients and drizzle over rolls and serve warm.
