Can You Bake Cinnamon Rolls in an Air Fryer?
I’ll never forget the time my family’s air fryer arrived on our doorstep. We were all so excited to try it out, but we had no idea what to make first. After brainstorming for a while, we decided to try making cinnamon rolls. To our surprise, they turned out amazing! The cinnamon rolls were cooked to perfection, and they had a delicious golden-brown crust.
If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to make cinnamon rolls, I highly recommend using an air fryer. In this article, I’ll share everything you need to know about baking cinnamon rolls in an air fryer, including tips and expert advice.
Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls: A Game-Changer
Air fryers have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. They’re a great way to cook food quickly and easily, and they can help you achieve a crispy, golden-brown finish. Cinnamon rolls are no exception. In fact, I think they’re even better when they’re made in an air fryer. The dough cooks evenly, and the cinnamon sugar filling gets perfectly caramelized. Plus, air fryer cinnamon rolls are much quicker to make than traditional cinnamon rolls. You can have a batch of delicious cinnamon rolls in just 15 minutes!
How to Bake Cinnamon Rolls in an Air Fryer
Baking cinnamon rolls in an air fryer is easy. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Unroll a can of cinnamon rolls and separate them into individual rolls.
- Place the cinnamon rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket.
- Cook the cinnamon rolls for 8-10 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the cinnamon rolls from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips for Baking Perfect Cinnamon Rolls in an Air Fryer
Here are a few tips to help you bake perfect cinnamon rolls in an air fryer:
- For best results, use a preheated air fryer.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. Leave some space between the cinnamon rolls so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the cinnamon rolls until they’re golden brown and cooked through. Insert a toothpick into the center of a cinnamon roll to check if it’s done. The toothpick should come out clean.
- Let the cinnamon rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help prevent the filling from oozing out.
Expert Advice for Baking Cinnamon Rolls in an Air Fryer

“If you don’t have an air fryer, you can still bake cinnamon rolls in a regular oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cinnamon rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.”
