It is no secret that I love my crock pot and use it all the time. I have used it to make Mexican Crock Pot Chicken and Crock Pot Pesto Chicken.

This recipe uses two tubes of cinnamon rolls. You will use one tube for the bottom layer and one for the top layer.
The egg mixture will separate the two layers.
The pecans add a nice crunch and nutty taste. You can substitute chopped walnuts or almonds if you prefer.
I cooked this cinnamon roll crock pot french toast for 4 hours on low. Since crock pot cook times vary, keep an eye on it and adjust the cook time accordingly. The middle part of the crock pot french toast was the last to get cooked. Even when it is done, the rolls toward the middle will be softer and slightly gooier than the ones near the edge.
I have to admit, I was tempted to dump the whole thing on a plate and have the world's largest cinnamon roll.
Since this crock pot french toast takes 4 hours to make, it works perfectly as a brunch. This warm dish will totally fill you up and goes great with a hot cup of coffee.
