Easy Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls – Slow Cooker or Oven + VIDEO

Easy Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls – a super easy treat for breakfast, brunch or dessert! Takes less than 10 minutes to put together with crescent roll dough, cinnamon sugar and sweet strawberries. Instructions for oven and slow cooker plus recipe video.

Aaah, cinnamon rolls. I can’t think of anything better than the sweet aroma that fills your house when they’re baking up in the oven.

Although, my kiddos love it whenever I make homemade cinnamon rolls, there are some days you just don’t have the time to make them from scratch.

With summer just around the corner, I’m sure everyone’s weekends are busy or most of us would rather be outside enjoying the warmer weather.

That’s where these easy Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls come in. They start off with a package of refrigerated crescent dough and are a cinch to make!

With less than 10 minutes of prep time and they bake up amazingly soft, gooey and make a decadent breakfast, brunch or dessert.

And the best part though? You can make them in the oven or your slow cooker! So perfect on those hot and humid days when you don’t want to heat up your house.

And for a make-ahead option, you can put them together the night before and pop them in the oven or slow cooker the next morning.

They’re great for special occasions, when you have overnight guests or want an extra special treat.

How To Make these Easy Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls

Start off with a package of refrigerated crescent roll dough. Unroll it and then press the seams together.

Spread an even layer of melted butter, cinnamon sugar and some fresh diced strawberries. Roll the dough up into a log and cut into even slices.

Place the rolls in a baking pan or your slow cooker.

Bake at 375 degrees in the oven until golden brown.

If you’re making this in your crock-pot, set on HIGH and cook for 1 hour and then turn to LOW for the remaining 30 minutes to 1 HOUR to prevent it from burning. If your slow cooker runs hot, be sure to check on the rolls a little earlier.

While the cinnamon rolls are baking, you can make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, milk (or lemon juice for a tangier glaze) and vanilla.

Drizzle over the rolls and you’ve got cinnamon rolls that are soft, gooey and melt in your mouth good!
