If you’re a cinnamon roll enthusiast like I am then wait till you try your very own Slow Cooker Cinnamon Roll Casserole!! It’s the kind of recipe that doubles as a delicious breakfast/brunch meal or as an equally inviting dessert!

This simple cinnamon roll casserole includes a creamy egg custard…I can’t think of anything better to wake up to! 

Bacon Swiss Frittata

Frittatas are another fantastic slow cooker breakfast option. You don’t have to worry about any finicky crust while you still get that egg-custard filling that’s packed with the likes of bacon, Swiss cheese and spinach. 

This is a winner for Sunday breakfast or brunch as well as easy and relaxed dinners. 

Cinnamon Apple Steel Cut Oats

If you’ve been hesitant to cook steel cut oats then using the slow cooker is the fail-proof option.

Slow Cooker Vanilla Coconut Granola

Granola is definitely a popular breakfast option, but did you know that most commercial granolas are loaded with high amounts of sugar? This Slow Cooker Vanilla Coconut Granola will quickly have you opting to make your very own from the comfort of your kitchen with no-fuss and maximum reward.

This granola recipe is gluten-free, vegan, and allergy-free! Enjoy it as a healthy breakfast or snack that you won’t need to feel guilty about.

Easy Crockpot Leftover Ham and Potato Hash

If you’ve ever wondered how to best use that leftover ham after holiday celebrations then why not try this Easy Crockpot Leftover Ham and Potato Hash? 

I love nothing more than making additional tasty meals for the family with leftover ingredients since I hate wastage (not to mention that it saves a ton of time using leftovers than cooking from scratch).  This recipe is also a sneaky-good way to add in some extra veggies into your family’s diet (where are you, shredded zucchini?!).

Crockpot Zucchini Bread

If you’re following a low-carb or keto diet then this Crockpot Zucchini bread is a calorie-friendly alternative to other high carb breakfast breads. 

It’s a yummy moist bread that can be enjoyed fresh from the crockpot or toasted to be served with eggs and bacon. 

Slow-Cooker Pumpkin Latte Recipe

This Slow Cooker Pumpkin Latte is another one from Family Fresh Meals. Who knew that you could make one of the most loved seasonal beverages in your slow-cooker?!

When the air is crisp and the season calls for all things pumpkin, this is my go-to hot beverage that I love waking up to. To be honest, though…I do tend to make this delicious Pumpkin Latte throughout the year and why not, right?! 

The Best Slow Cooker Coffee Cake Recipe

If coffee is something closely associated with starting a new day then I see no reason why this Slow Cooker Coffee Cake recipe should be left off the list of Crockpot breakfast ideas!

Similar to a dump cake, this coffee cake is ideal for busy mornings when you’re in the mood for something extra indulgent without fuss or effort. 

Crockpot Butternut Squash Oatmeal

Crockpot Pumpkin Bread Pudding

This Crockpot Pumpkin Bread Pudding is another fall-favorite! It’s loaded with pecans and is super creamy from the use of pumpkin puree. Serve it warm from the slow cooker on those chilly mornings. 

Cheesy Kielbasa Breakfast Hash

Kielbasa (or Polish for “sausage”) is a hearty slow cooker breakfast option that only requires 7 simple ingredients including breakfast favorites such as: cheese, sausage, and potato.  While kielbasa comes in beef, pork, chicken or a blend, I suggest sticking to beef as a healthier option.
