Ingredients

  • 1 8 ounce tube refrigerated gluten-free (or regular) crescent roll dough Feel free to use a homemade cinnamon roll dough recipe if you prefer.
  • 2 tbsp unsalted (or dairy-free) butter , softened (+ 2 more tablespoons if cooking in the slow cooker)
  • 1/4 cup granulated pure maple sugar , coconut sugar or preferred granulated sugar of choice (Monk Fruit etc. for lower sugar)
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup diced strawberries

For the Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar / sweetener of choice
  • 1-2 teaspoons dairy-free (or regular) milk , of choice
  • 1/3 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Gently unroll dough (do not separate) and pinch the seams to seal to create one big sheet.

  2. Spread or brush the butter over the dough. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Add an even layer of strawberries.

  3. Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting at the short end and pinch seam to seal. Cut into even pieces (about 6).
  4. To Make in the Oven

  5. Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease an 8 or 9 inch baking pan or 2.5 quart casserole dish and place the rolls inside.

  6. Bake according to package direction - about 15 to 19 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. To Make In the Slow Cooker

  8. Add 2 tablespoons melted butter and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar of choice to the bottom of a 4.5-5 quart slow cooker. Arrange buns neatly in the bottom.

  9. Place two pieces of paper towels to cover the slow cooker (this prevents condensation from dripping) then place lid carefully over the paper towel.
  10. Cook on HIGH for 1 hour then set to LOW for the remaining 30 minutes to 1 hour. (**VERY IMPORTANT: If your slow cooker runs hot, check on the rolls earlier to prevent burning).

Recipe Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. 
  • Make-Ahead: Prepare the rolls the night before, refrigerate, and bake in the morning for a fresh breakfast.
  • Freezer: Once your unfrosted cinnamon rolls are cool to room temperature, freeze rolls individually for a quick grab-and-go breakfast option. Tightly wrap the baking pan with plastic wrap or transfer to a resealable airtight container and store in the freezer. They will keep in the freezer for up to 2 months.
  • Freezing Raw Dough: Simply place the sliced dough in a pan and cover with plastic wrap and freeze the entire pan. You can store the dough in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • How to thaw: When you are ready to bake, remove the pan from the freezer and let the dough thaw in the fridge overnight. Move to a warm spot for 1 hour before baking to allow the dough to rise. When ready, bake the cinnamon rolls as per the instructions.
  • Reheating: When ready to eat, remove the pan from the oven and allow to thaw at room temperature. Bake in the oven at 350F for 10-15 minutes or heat them up in the microwave individually on medium heat for about 30 seconds or until warm.
