Main Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (8 rolls)
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
For Serving
- Icing (included in cinnamon roll can), warmed
- Prepare cinnamon roll bites: Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and roll each piece into a small ball to create bite-sized portions.
- Preheat and coat air fryer basket: Lightly spritz the basket of your air fryer with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Air fry the bites: Place the cinnamon roll balls in a single layer inside the basket. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 6 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are fully cooked through. You may want to shake or turn them halfway for even browning.
- Coat with cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon. Toss the cooked cinnamon roll bites in this mixture until well-coated.
- Warm the icing: Heat the icing from the cinnamon roll can in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds until warm and slightly runny, perfect for dipping.
- Serve: Plate the coated cinnamon roll bites with the warm icing on the side for dipping and enjoy immediately while warm and soft.
Notes
- You can use any brand of refrigerated cinnamon rolls, but classic cinnamon rolls with icing included work best.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model; check bites at 5 minutes to prevent overcooking.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg or add vanilla extract to the cinnamon sugar mix.
- If you prefer a softer texture, reduce air frying time slightly.
- Serve immediately for best taste; leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes.
