Quick and Easy Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls

These air fryer cinnamon rolls are made with pre-made dough, filled with a cinnamon-sugar mixture, and drizzled with a simple icing. The entire process takes around 20 minutes from start to finish, producing warm and delicious rolls that serve 4.

Ingredients

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Ingredients: Unroll the crescent roll dough and press the seams to create a single sheet.
Make the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.
Roll and Cut: Starting from one end, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 4 equal pieces.

Air Fry the Rolls: Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Place the cinnamon rolls in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
Prepare the Icing: In a separate bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract (if using) to create a smooth icing.
Serve: Once the rolls are done, drizzle with icing and enjoy warm.
