Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls is a quick and easy breakfast that the entire family will love! Just pop the pre-made cinnamon rolls into the air fryer and within minutes you'll have a sweet treat!
Making these sweet rolls in the air fryer is a breeze! The rolls cook quickly and evenly! You honestly can not get any better than this!
As you know we love using our air fryer!
We have been working on using the air fryer more when it comes to breakfast time.
So far we have made Air Fryer Biscuits, Air Fryer Donuts, Air Fryer Bacon and Air Fryer Pumpkin French Toast.
You can make these cinnamon rolls in any type of air fryer. We did use our Cosori Air Fryer, so I guess it classifies it as a true Cosori Air Fryer Recipe!
HOW LONG DO YOU COOK CINNAMON ROLLS IN AN AIR FRYER?
We have had the best luck cooking cinnamon rolls at 350F/ 176C for 8-9 minutes.
This gives the canned cinnamon rolls the perfect level of brown and the absolute perfect level of crisp outside and soft insides!
We have used Kroger Brand, Aldi Brand and also the name brand of Pillsbury. We have had great luck with all brands.
The key is to watch these cinnamon rolls in the last couple of minutes.
Then you can get them exactly how you want them!
HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER CINNAMON ROLLS
- Open the package of canned cinnamon rolls and remove them from the package. Separate the frosting container.
- Put the raw rolls into the air fryer basket or air fryer tray.
- Air Fry the cinnamon rolls 350F/ 176C for 8-9 minutes.
- Remove the rolls from the air fryer basket, top with frosting and enjoy.
CINNAMON ROLLS TIPS
You can use an air fryer with a basket or an air fryer with trays. If you are using trays, we suggest that you use the middle rack.
If your air fryer has multiple functions, choose the "air fry" option for this recipe.
You do not need to flip the rolls over during cooking. You can, but it is not needed.
If you have leftovers, you can use the air fryer to gently and quickly reheat the rolls the next morning!

I had a tube in my fridge. Just pulled them out and made these. I used the Aldi brand and it turned out great. Not for breakfast here but a late night snack! Yum YUM
Cindy
Hi Tim, we have used the Aldi brand too! Ha! I love that you had them as a late night snack! Maybe I need to update the category for this post and include snack! What a delicious sweet snack!
Sharon
After making these, I love my air fryer even more. I don't know how that is even possible, but I do. The air fryer can cook up so many things. I have made these twice for my husband and I. We used the Pillsbury brand. Worked great. Can't wait until Covid is over and my grand kids can come over. They are going to love these! Thank you for showing me how to do this!
Cindy
Hi Sharon, I am so glad you've had great luck with these and thanks for letting me know the brand you used! I hope that your grand kids are able to come over soon to enjoy them!
Wanda
Hello! My name is Wanda and I love your site. I had a Meijer brand in my fridge, so I made these. They turned out great. I ended up cooking them for almost 10 minutes. at 350 I wanted them super crunchy! That's the way I like them. Thanks!
Cindy
Hi there Wanda! Isn't that one of the best parts of the air fryer is that you can easily control how your food is cooking, whether its a soft cinnamon roll or crunchy! Yay!
