What You’ll Need
The only ingredient you need to make Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls is a can of cinnamon rolls! Of course you could make the dough from scratch, but that wouldn’t make this recipe easy, would it?
The thing is, in order to air fry, you’ll need an air fryer! There are a ton of air fryer options on the market now in all different price ranges.
If you’re on the edge of deciding which to get, opt for a cheaper one. This way you can figure out if you’ll utilize it enough to take up counter space. If you know you will be air frying everything, opt for one of Ninja’s. They have a few multipurpose ones!
How To Make Air Fryer Cinnamon Roll Bites
You are going to enjoy making these Air Fryer Cinnamon Roll Bites as much as you’ll love eating it!
Start by popping your can of cinnamon rolls- you know what I mean!
Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the rolls into quarters. The cinnamon roll layers will fall apart. Help them along by separating the rest.
Place a layer of of aluminum foil in your air fryer and preheat it to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
Lay all of your bits into the air fryer, without them touching. Next up, air fry them for 5 to 6 minutes. If you like them a bit more doughy do 5 minutes. If you prefer a crunchier golden bite leave them in for 6 minutes.
When they’re done carefully remove them from the airfryer.
The last step is to drizzle the icing over them or dunk them- your choice!
You now have an incredible batch of Easy Air Fryer Cinnamon Roll Bites. Try not to eat them all yourself!
Expert Tips and Tricks
- Try not to over cook them! Even cooking them 2 minutes too long will eave them hard.
- Enjoy them immediately. Reheating these Air Fryer Cinnamon Roll Bites will just make them hard.
- Use parchment paper or disposable air fryer paper for easy clean up.
- Make sure you use a timer. Keeping the cinnamon roll bites in the air fryer after the beep will still continue cooking. Be sure to remove them immediately.
- While the bites are in the air fryer warm up the icing in your hands. You want it to reach room temperature so it isn’t cold and hard but not hot and melted. Room temperature is a great middle ground.
A Word From a Registered Dietitian
Cinnamon rolls are generally seen as ‘sugar bombs’. They may have sugar, but in no way are they bombs.
Enjoy your cinnamon roll(s)! Shaming yourself for wanting one (or a few!) does nothing but hamper the meal. You should either enjoy your cinnamon rolls and move on or pair your cinnamon roll with other foods to up the nutrition.
By pairing a cinnamon roll with some greek yogurt and sliced bananas you know have a sweet and savory snack with protein, carbs, and fiber! This will keep you satisfied longer and maintain a more steady blood glucose level.
