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!

The dough is incredibly simple! 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 should be soft and smooth in the end, like playdough.

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.)

Then mix up the filling – brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and melted butter. It ends up almost like a spreadable paste.

Roll out the dough, spread on the filling, roll the dough up, and cut evenly into rolls. You can use a piece of floss or a serrated knife. I love that air fryer cinnamon rolls are no fuss and no rising!

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.

Air fryer cinnamon rolls only take about 5 minutes to cook! Awesome, right?! Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer though, so check on them before 5 minutes is up to make sure they don’t overcook.

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.
