Add your topping, roll & cut and into the crockpot they go. Finish them off with a lovely glaze and you’ll have the perfect breakfast, brunch or snack! Since these are made in a slow cooker, people call them SCrolls instead of rolls. Get it? hee hee!
Slow Cooker Cinnamon Rolls
Slow Cooker Cinnamon RollsDough:
2 cups self rising flour
7 Tablespoons soft butter1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup-1 cup milk
Mix the flour, salt and butter in a mixer. Slowly add milk to make a dough. Knead on a floured surface and roll out to a rectangle that is 20×30 in.
Spread this on the dough:
1/2 cup softened margarine
Make topping my mixing together:
1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Pour this on the buttered dough and use a rolling pin to press it into the dough gently. Roll up tightly and slice into rolls. Place parchment into crockpot and lay the rolls. Bake 90 minutes on high (may need a few minutes longer so check them as all slow cookers are different). *NOTE-some people recommend a tea towel under the lid to prevent condensation. I have not tried this yet. Let me know if you try it! Pour on glaze by mixing a cup of powdered sugar with milk added slowly to thin it.
Kris says
What temperature is the crock pot set to cook the rolls?
danielle says
sorry-high!!! I corrected it!
AVIVA says
I thought I had died and gone to heaven but I’ve been left at the door waiting!!! What is the temp high or low and pre heat or turn on crockpot after placing them in? Thanks waiting at the door!!!
danielle says
hahahaha let me open the door-cook on high-sorry and thanks for the laugh!!
danielle says
and i did not preheat
Nella says
Did you put the llid tightly on you slow cooker or did you leave it slightly open to bake the rolls? I wondering about the condensation you would get with a slow cooker and how “wet” your dough would be
danielle says
Mine were not too wet but you could def try cracking it a bit and I know some people use a dishtowel of some sort in the cover-not so sure how that works but you could google it to see.
Eileen says
You can put a paper towel over crockpot to absorb the moisture, this works also on other things that you do not want all the moisture to collect You put it under the cover in case you are wonder where it goes.
Katrinka Stone says
How much milk for the dough? Says 1/2 cup -1 cup so does that mean judge by how dough forms?
danielle says
Yes, you’re exactly right-I used less than the cup-add it slowly-u don’t want dough too wet. 🙂

Sounds So Easy!!! My cro-po doesn’t have removable bowl. To avoid messy cleanup, can a slo-cooking liner be used along with parchment without affecting results?
danielle says
not sure-never tried
Annette says
Is there yeast in this recipe?
danielle says
nope
Madison says
Looks like a great recipe! 2 questions: what size slow cooker did you use and how many servings does this yield?
Theresa says
Did you learn what size crock pot and what the yield is for this recipe?
Kelly says
Can I use all purpose flour instead, I dont have self rising.
danielle says
No, that will not be an equal substitute and will change the rise.
Melissa says
how to make Self-Rising Flour from All-purpose flour
All-purpose flour + baking powder + salt
Add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt to one cup of all-purpose flour
Sharon says
You can make your own self rising flour. For each cup called for, use AP flour and add 1-1/2 tsps. baking powder and 1/2 tsp. salt
Julia J says
Morning! I’m having a crock pot freezer party and was wondering if I could make these and the girls could take them home and freeze them, thaw in fridge and then bake? Thanks!
Dorothy says
I want to try this recipe but I only have regular flour. Could I add baking soda to the flour? If so how much?
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
Hmm, I a not sure about that,
Jean says
there are recipes, probably on line, to make your own self rising flour. cheaper than having 2 kinds in your pantry.
Recipe I use is: 4 C reg flour, 2 Tbsp baking powder, 2 tsp salt. Works great for me.
Tammy says
This is across between a bisquits and a roll. Make sure you put a paper towel under lid to catch condensation. Your rectangle will be more like 18×12 inches. I would not put as much filling in.
Red says
Why 2 tablespoons of cornstarch seems to much to me. Also 20 x 30 inch seems a bit to big or should the dough be thin for rolling? Questions before I start them. Looks good and want to try.
Ashleigh says
I made these on Sunday and they were amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
So glad they turned out yummy for you too!!!!!
Shiralee says
Hi, I noticed that in the pictures it looks like there is the margarine or something is spread on the rolled out dough and the cinnamon mix is put on top. Is this right? because the instructions say that you mix the margarine in with the cinnamon and brown sugar which is what I did and the cinnamon mix came out looking a lot wetter than in the picture.
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
I have done it both ways. 🙂
Jake says
I’ve got them in the crock pot right now. I totally slacked on making the dough myself, and used two logs of Bridgford ready-made. The house smells divine…my wife woke up to that…points for me. With the increased amount of dough, it will be a full 2 hours on high. I also used a Reynolds liner, and it’s doing really well. EXCELLENT method. Thank you for your inovation.
diane lorenz says
How many rolls should this yield, so I know how thick to cut the dough
Tricia says
I made these a few years ago and they were amazing. Can I sub baking powder for the cornstarch???
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
hahaha!!!!! yay!!!
