How To Reheat Cinnamon Rolls In The Microwave
Using the microwave for reheating cinnamon rolls is a great choice when you are in a time crunch! This is even how most coffee shops reheat cinnamon rolls in a pinch! Make sure you avoid overheating them, though, as this will make them dry and hard (and we definitely don't want that!)
- Prepare. Get a damp paper towel and then lightly drape it over your cinnamon roll.
- Heat. Place the covered cinnamon roll onto a microwave-safe plate and heat for 20-25 seconds.
*Alternatively, you can heat your cinnamon roll in the microwave alongside a mug of water (and don't cover it with a paper towel). The heated water will keep the roll soft.
How To Reheat Cinnamon Rolls In The Oven
Using your oven is a great way to warm up some cinnamon rolls, but it does take some extra time. However, the results are completely worth it!
- Preheat. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and place your rolls into a baking dish (if they are not already in one).
- Cover. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil. *If your cinnamon rolls are not frosted, you can add a small bit of butter on top of every roll before covering.
- Heat. Heat in the oven for about 10 minutes.
How To Reheat Cinnamon Rolls In An Air Fryer
If you happen to own an air fryer, then you already know how versatile they are! This method is fantastic if you need your cinnamon rolls reheated quickly and you are only heating up a small amount.
- Preheat. Turn on the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Butter. If the cinnamon rolls do not have frosting on them, place a little bit of butter over the top of each one.
- Cover. Place the cinnamon rolls into the basket of the air fryer and cover them with foil.
- Heat. Reheat for 3-5 minutes.
How To Reheat Cinnamon Rolls In A Frying Pan
Reheating cinnamon rolls on the stovetop creates a fun and super tasty treat! It may be a little messy, but it is still yummy!
- Preheat. Place a skillet over medium heat.
- Melt. Add some butter and let it melt.
- Cover. Place the cinnamon roll into the frying pan with the bottom side facing down and place the lid over the skillet.
- Heat. Heat for 2-3 minutes.
How To Reheat Cinnamon Rolls In A Toaster Oven
The toaster oven works very similarly to the regular oven, but it is a great choice if you are only reheating one or two cinnamon rolls.
- Preheat. Preheat the toaster oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cover. Wrap the cinnamon rolls tightly in aluminum foil. *If your cinnamon rolls are not frosted, you can add a small bit of butter on top of them before covering them.
- Heat. Heat for 10 minutes.
Best Methods For Reheating Cinnamon Rolls
The oven definitely yields the best results when it comes to reheating cinnamon rolls. However, the air fryer and toaster can work well, too, if you want them to be reheated quickly! Just choose the method that is best suited to your needs and enjoy!
