    Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls are a deliciously sweet treat that you and your family can enjoy in just minutes! I absolutely love how perfectly golden and tender my cinnamon rolls turn out when cooked in the air fryer and I'm sure that you will too!

    Easiest Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls

    Baked goods in an air fryer? YES! It is possible because this awesome kitchen gadget can make just about any recipe easier, including baked sweet treats.

    Instead of waiting for the homemade dough to rise, my recipe for air fryer cinnamon rolls calls for the tube package of cinnamon rolls found in the refrigerator section of the grocery store. Ready-to-spread icing is also included. So you can have a delicious, sweet, breakfast or brunch prepared in just minutes!

    My air fryer cinnamon rolls are wonderful for breakfast but also great as a snack any time of day. They are so quick and easy to whip up with the air fryer and they are sure to tame any sweet tooth!

    🥘 Ingredients

    Other than your air fryer there isn't much needed! The icing is in the cinnamon roll tube, so you're good to go!

    • Cinnamon Rolls - Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls are an old stand-by and will do the trick every time. I especially love the Cinnabon flavor! However, my family and I recently tried Annie’s Organic Cinnamon Rolls and they were loaded with cinnamon and very soft and moist. This is a great option if you want to feel better about serving baked goods for breakfast!

    *Be sure to see the recipe card below for ingredients, amounts & instructions!*

    🔪 Step-By-Step Instructions

    Cooking up the refrigerated cinnamon rolls in your air fryer is a super way to get perfectly golden cinnamon rolls! The more space you can give the rolls, the faster they will be fully cooked too!

    1. Open the pre-packaged tube of rolls and set aside the icing found inside.
    2. Have your air fryer basket or trays ready, but do not grease them! Separate each individual roll and place them into the basket or on your air fryer trays. If you try to make sure the rolls aren’t touching each other during the “frying” process, the cinnamon rolls will cook much more quickly.
    3. Place the rolls into the preheated air fryer and cook at 350ºF (175ºC) for about 8-10 minutes (if the rolls are spaced apart). If you cannot separate the rolls, the center will take a bit longer to fully bake. In my experience, I have had to cook the rolls for up to 18 minutes to cook through completely.
    4. Remove the rolls from the air fryer and spread the icing on immediately, so the icing gets all melted and gooey. Serve immediately.

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • Preheating your air fryer for these cinnamon rolls is helpful especially when you don’t have space between them. It will help to reduce the cooking time. *This is true of both basket air fryers and convection oven-style air fryers.
    • If the rolls must be placed in close proximity to each other, you can check them periodically by pulling them apart. If the individual rolls look doughy or feel raw, keep cooking them.
    • Because every air fryer is a bit different, I recommend starting this cinnamon roll recipe with 8 minutes of cooking time. You can then continue to cook them from there if needed. Enjoy your cinnamon rolls!

    🥡 Storing & Reheating

    To store leftover cinnamon rolls, simply transfer the rolls to an airtight container. You can store them in the refrigerator or at room temperature for up to 2 - 3 days.

    Reheating Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls

    If you have cinnamon rolls leftover, you can reheat them easily in a variety of ways! In a preheated oven at 350ºF (175ºC) the cinnamon rolls will be warm again in 5 - 10 minutes. You can also return them to your air fryer and heat them for about 3 minutes also at 350ºF (175ºC). *This method is a bit messy if the icing is on your cinnamon roll(s)!

    Then, of course, the quickest and easiest reheating method is to simply warm the rolls in your microwave. To keep your cinnamon rolls from getting rubbery after reheating, I suggest using the half-power setting. Still heat in short 30-second increments to keep a close eye on how hot your rolls are getting!

    Notes

    Preheating helps reduce my time when I have cinnamon rolls that are placed in such a way that they are either already touching, or will undoubtedly be touching once they bake. Cinnamon rolls that are placed in close proximity to each other can be checked by pulling them apart from each other - if they're still raw or doughy between the individual rolls, keep cooking them.

    Since all air fryers cook differently, I suggest checking your cinnamon rolls at the 8-minute mark and continue to cook the rolls as needed from there.

    To store leftover cinnamon rolls, simply transfer the rolls to an airtight container. You can store them in the refrigerator or at room temperature for up to 2 - 3 days.
