How to Make Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls

  1. Place cinnamon rolls in a single layer in the air fryer.
  2. Bake until golden brown and firm when touched.
  3. Remove and top with icing, if desired.

Make cinnamon rolls in batches if necessary to ensure spacing around the cinnamon roll dough.

Storing Cinnamon Rolls

Keep leftover air fryer cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the air fryer on high power. Or pop them into the microwave in a pinch to reheat.

PRO TIP:

When the air fryer is preheated and before adding the leftover cinnamon rolls, drop an ice cube in the bottom of the air fryer to create steam which will make the cinnamon rolls moist and fluffy again.
