Ingredients and Supplies needed to make Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls:

Ingredients:

Supplies:

• Medium mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Rolling pin
• Sharp knife
• air fryer

What is the texture like?

Don’t get me wrong, they’re no buttermilk cinnamon rolls or caramel apple cinnamon rolls, but these air fryer cinnamon rolls are definitely a tasty little snack or treat. They taste even better than I expected, especially with cream cheese icing! They aren’t super fully, but these air fry cinnamon roll will do in a pinch for sure.

How to make your own self rising flour:

Self-Rising Flour Substitute

If you don’t have self-rising flour, no problem. Try this substitution…

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

(A gluten-free all-purpose flour should work in place of the flour, but I haven’t personally tried it.)

Type of Icing to use for this air fryer cinnamon roll recipe

A delicious cream cheese icing is the perfect way to top off air fryer cinnamon rolls, or any cinnamon roll for that matter. I like to use clear vanilla in icing recipes like this because it stays a nice white color, but either way it will taste yummy! If you don’t like cream cheese, you can omit it or make your own favorite cinnamon roll glaze or icing.

How to make Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls:

Step 1: Make dough

Mix together self-rising flour, milk, and melted butter. That’s it!

Super easy to measure out the flour and milk by placing the mixing bowl on a kitchen scale, taring, then weighing for each of those ingredients. The dough mixture should be soft and smooth in the end, like playdough.

Step 2: Mix cinnamon roll filling

In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and melted butter until it ends up almost like a spreadable paste.

Step 3: Roll out dough

Roll out the dough, spread on the filling, roll the dough up, and cut evenly into rolls.

Lightly pinch edge to seal. Cut into 9 rolls, each about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.You can use a piece of floss or a serrated knife. I love that air fryer cinnamon rolls are no fuss and no rising!

Step 4: Prepare air fryer

You’ll want to oil or grease your air fryer basket because you don’t want the dough or filling to stick too badly to the basket. Or you can use air fryer parchment paper.

Step 5: Air fry cinnamon rolls

Lightly press down on the tops of each roll. Place rolls in the air fryer. Cook at 350˚F or 177˚C for 5 minutes. (Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer so check on them before 5 minutes is up to make sure they don’t overcook.)

Step 5: Make Creamy cheese frosting or icing
