Slow Cooker Hot Cross Bun Cinnamon Rolls

These slow cooker hot cross bun cinnamon rolls are perfect for a super delicious, no fuss, set-it-and-forget it Easter brunch recipe. The most amazing thing about these incredible slow cooker hot cross bun cinnamon rolls is that the dough is super easy to make and there is no long rising time, because the slow heat from your slow cooker (and the almighty Red Star yeast) does all the work for you!
The best brunch recipe for cinnamon rolls

So quick question here – did you know that Easter is in March this year? As in, Easter is less than two weeks away?! Um yeah, I had to do a double take when I saw that on my March calendar. The holiday completely snuck up on me.

Super easy hot cross bun cinnamon rolls that are super delicious

As soon as I realized that the holiday was fast approaching, I thought back to last year when I made this awesome cinnamon sugar pecan challah bread. However, as I said last year, patience is a virtue I don’t whole-heartedly embrace when it comes to bread making.

Red Star Yeast for making the best cinnamon rolls in the slowcooker

I just want to whip up a dough and go, so to speak. I don’t want wait around for it to rise, I just don’t have time for that.

[Tag me on Instagram, @philiakelnhofer if you make these slow cooker hot cross bun cinnamon rolls for your next brunch!]

Still wanting to make something that reminded me of the Easter bread season (for some reason Easter is always synonymous with bread and baking for me) I decided to try something out. I wanted to see if I could come up with a bread type recipe, something that uses Red Star yeast (their yeasts make the most incredible bread, it’s the only brand of yeast my family and I use) but that wouldn’t require a lot of hands on time.

And that’s when it came to me – I should use my slow cooker to make something for Easter brunch. You see, that way, it would cook away while I was getting brunch ready and guests arrive, and then by the time it would be ready, everything else would be ready too (plus, it frees up precious oven space!) I also wanted to mix traditional flavors of hot cross buns with cinnamon rolls, so I added raisins and tweaked the dough of traditional cinnamon rolls a little.

The most amazing cinnamon rolls you'll ever make!

The end result? AMAZING!

With minimal prep and hands-on time (I shared a step-by-step photo above) the end result is spectacular – hot crossed bun cinnamon rolls. They’re soft and sweet and everything you want for Easter brunch!

There you have it – an easy peasy bread recipe (<– yup, it was easy enough for even me, the one who normally doesn’t have the patience to wait around for bread baking). I also have to say, that like always, Red Star yeast worked wonders – I especially love their Platinum Instant Yeast which I used in this recipe (I also tested it with regular Red Star Yeast and it worked great too).

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours
Inactive Time: 2 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours 22 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • For the dough:
  • ½ cup milk warmed
  • 1 packet Red Star Platinum Instant Yeast or 2 ¼ teaspoons Red Star Yeast
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 3 Tablespoons salted butter melted
  • 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour plus ¼ cup for rolling
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • For the filling:
  • 4 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 Tablespoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon allspice
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ cup raisins
  • For the Frosting:
  • 2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 Tablespoons milk

Instructions

To make the dough:

  • Start by warming the milk (I simply heat mine in the microwave for 1 minute, you don’t want it hotter than 95 degrees). Add packet of yeast to the milk, stir once or twice and then let sit for 5-10 minutes until it is foamy.
  • Pour milk and yeast mixture into a large mixing bowl and add in the sugar and egg and stir with a wooden spoon until combined.
  • Next add in the melted butter and stir, and then add in the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Stir until the dough comes together. It will be a slightly wet and sticky dough.
  • Form dough into a ball and put it on a floured board or surface.
  • Make the filling while you let the dough ball hang out on the floured surface.
  • To make the filling simply mix all the ingredients together and stir until combined.
  • Now roll the dough out into a rectangle shape (mine is usually 12-14 inches long by 8 inches wide).
  • Spread the filling onto the dough with a spatula, and then carefully-yet-tightly- roll the dough along the long side.
  • Cut the dough into 8 pieces (I’ve found a pizza cutter works great for this.)
  • Line your slow cooker with parchment paper and spray it with cooking spray.
  • Gently place formed hot cross bun cinnamon rolls in the bottom of your slow cooker, leaving a little space in between them.
  • Place a layer of paper towels under the lid (important step, you don’t want the condensation dripping onto your dough) and cover the slow cooker.
  • Turn on high and cook for 2 hours.
  • When the hot cross bun cinnamon rolls are done (they will be slightly brown around the edges) carefully remove the parchment paper from the slow cooker and set them on a board.
  • Make the frosting by stirring all the ingredients in a bowl, and then pour it over the hot cross bun cinnamon rolls. Gently break the cinnamon rolls apart and serve warm!

Notes

I melt the butter in the microwave and set aside before starting to make the dough. I use a bowl and wooden spoon, but you could also use a stand mixer with a dough attachment to make the dough.

    I tried this with gluten free flour and it didn’t turn out. I’m not expert baker so I’ll take responsibility for my mistake lol with gluten free flour the dough was very dry and crumbly, it would not form a nice sticky ball. I think to correct this you might have to add an extra egg. I did throw it in the slow cooker 2hrs and eat it in spite of its dryness, the bread tastes good. I do believe Phi’s time estimations are quite off: it takes more like an hour to prep this.

      Oh my goodness, that definitely sounds like something went wrong with the gluten free flour, sorry to hear it didn’t turn out for you. I’ve made this many times and have had readers make this with great results…but all with all-purpose flour, so I’m not sure what went wrong.

    Do you think the dough (with filling) can be refrigerated or froze before putting in the slow cooker? I would love to make these for a camping breakfast but would want to prep them before we leave and make them Sunday a.m Thanks!

      Wait…hold the phone…you’ve never made hot crossed buns or cinnamon rolls ?!? Girl, you MUST try them, homemade is so incredible! And this method of the slow cooker is totally the way to go because it doesn’t involve any crazy long rise time or kneading, it’s super easy and the end result is amazing!

    Those are amazing Phi! We’ll bake them in the oven, as we don’t have a slow cooker, and we bet they’ll taste fantastic! We actually never used homemade dough for similar rolls, and this recipe is a great incentive to start making it at home:)
    Thank you for the amazing idea dear!

      Awe thank you so much, your comment totally made my day! These hot cross buns mixed with cinnamon rolls were seriously SO delish, and they reminded me of Easter (during which hot crossed buns and baked goods are mandatory, right? 😉 )

I forgot where I read it, but it was something abo I forgot where I read it, but it was something about 'normalizing normal/slightly ugly/normal kitchens' and that resonated with me. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we moved into our house, my original thought was "I absolutely love the house, but maybe we'll redo the kitchen in 5 years to be all white" 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why though? Because everyone else is doing that and it's 'cool'?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After having lived in our house for 6+ months, now the most I have dreams of doing is maybe to redo the laminate countertops that are peeling in some places. Maybe. One day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But this isn't some before/after post. It's just a post about saying your kitchen/home is fine the way it is, and if you don't have some pinterest board or desire to change your entire kitchen, that's a-ok.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE looking at beautiful kitchens and spaces, so I'll just continue adding pretty images to my weekly love-lists and leaving it there - for looking at pretty things vs. wishing to change my house or feeling bad about my kitchen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Personally, I love my house. It feels homey and welcoming, and that's the vibe I'm going to keep going with.
