Making cinnamon rolls in an air fryer is a great way to enjoy a delicious, sweet treat without all the fuss of baking. The air fryer does all the work for you, and in just minutes you will have light and fluffy cinnamon rolls, perfect for any occasion.
To make cinnamon rolls with an air fryer, start by preparing your dough. You can use pre-made dough from the store or make your own from scratch if desired. Once your dough is ready, roll it out into a large rectangle shape and brush with melted butter. Then sprinkle your favorite topping such as diced apples, pecans, raisins or chocolate chips over the top.
Next it’s time to add the cinnamon sugar mixture. To make this, mix together 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this over the top of the dough and spread it evenly with your hands or a rolling pin.
Once you have the topping on your dough, carefully roll up the dough like you would for making a jelly roll. Cut into 12 even pieces and place them onto an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. At this point you can either freeze the rolls to bake later, or move straight to air frying them.
When ready to cook, lightly grease the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray and place 6-8 rolls in at once (depending on size). Air fry for about 5 minutes at 400F and then flip the rolls to ensure even cooking. Cook an additional 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from air fryer and place on a cooling rack.
Your homemade cinnamon rolls should be served warm with butter, cream cheese frosting or your favorite glaze. Enjoy!
Making cinnamon rolls in an air fryer is a great way to enjoy a delicious sweet treat without all the fuss of baking. It’s quick, easy and the perfect addition to any breakfast or brunch spread.
