  • 1  6 oz. container of Fresh Blueberries
  • 4 Eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1 Tbsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract







HOW TO MAKE CROCKPOT BLUEBERRY CINNAMON BAKE:
  1. Prep Your Crockpot:  Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or use a crockpot liners or parchment paper for easy cleanup.  
  2. Cut the Cinnamon Rolls:  Pop open the cans of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters.  Set aside the icing packets for later.  
  3. Mix It Up:  In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.  This gives the bake a custardy, bread-pudding-like texture.  
  4. Layer It Up:  Add the cut cinnamon rolls to the crockpot, then sprinkle the blueberries over top.  Pour the egg mixture evenly over everything.
  5. Slow Cook Magic:  Cover and cook on HIGH for 2.5-3 hours or until the cinnamon rolls are cooked through and fluffy.  All crockpots cook differently, so keep an eye around the 2 hour mark to prevent over cooking.  
  6. Finish with Frosting:  Drizzle the reserved icing over the warm bake.  You can also add a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.

FAQs:

Can I use other fruits besides blueberries?  

Absolutely!  Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, peaches or even apple chunks work great.  I have also bee known to skip the fruit all together and use chocolate chips.  

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.  Reheat in the microwave for a quick treat.  

Can I make this in the oven?  

Yes!  Bake in a greased 9x13 baking dish at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and set.
