Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare cinnamon roll bites: Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and roll each piece into a small ball to create bite-sized portions.
  2. Preheat and coat air fryer basket: Lightly spritz the basket of your air fryer with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
