Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls are soft, fluffy pastries with warm cinnamon filling and sweet icing, cooked quickly in the air fryer for crisp edges and tender centers. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, these cinnamon rolls are ready in minutes with minimal effort.

Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)
  • Cream cheese icing included with cinnamon rolls
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  2. Arrange the cinnamon rolls in the basket, leaving space between each roll.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 330°F if needed.
  4. Brush the tops lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with extra cinnamon or brown sugar if desired.
  5. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Check the centers to ensure they are fully baked.
  7. Carefully remove the cinnamon rolls from the air fryer.
  8. Spread or drizzle the cream cheese icing over the warm cinnamon rolls.
  9. Serve immediately while warm and soft.

Notes

  • Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the basket.
  • Homemade cinnamon roll dough can be used instead of refrigerated dough.
  • Add chopped pecans, walnuts, raisins, or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
  • Reheat leftovers briefly in the air fryer for a fresher texture.
  • Caramel sauce or vanilla glaze makes a delicious topping variation.
  • If the centers are undercooked, lower the temperature slightly and cook a few minutes longer.
