Air Fryer Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls

Air Fryer Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls – warm, fluffy cinnamon rolls with cream cheese icing in less time than oven-baked with same great taste!

Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls and I go way back and were a favorite of my kids growing up.

Of course, we didn’t have an air fryer in those days but warm fluffy cinnamon rolls were always a welcome sweet treat.

They’re perfect for the air fryer but the best part is their taste and how quickly they’re ready to eat!

What do I Need to make Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls?

1. Tube of Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
2. Cooking spray or parchment paper
3. Air Fryer

I’ve air fried both the Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls and the Pillsbury Original Cinnamon Rolls.

Both work well in the air fryer but my personal favorite are Pillsbury Grands because they’re more like a bakery style cinnamon roll.

How to make Air Fryer Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls:

Pillsbury Grands:

Do not preheat the air fryer.

The nonstick surface of air fryers vary so  to be sure the cinnamon rolls don’t stick, either lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.

Add the cinnamon rolls to the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Air fry at 330° for 12 minutes total or until golden brown, turning them over after about 6-7 minutes of cook time.

Carefully remove cinnamon rolls from the air fryer and spread the cream cheese icing provided then eat right away.

Pillsbury Originals:

Do not preheat the air fryer. The nonstick surface of air fryers vary so to be sure the cinnamon rolls don’t stick, either lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.

Add the cinnamon rolls to the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Air fry at 350° for 6 minutes total, turning them over after about 4 minutes cook time.

Continue cooking another 2 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

Carefully remove from the air fryer and apply icing provided dividing between cinnamon rolls then eat right away.

Why should you air fry cinnamon rolls instead of baking:

• Mornings can be hectic and if you’re trying to get you or your dawdling kids out the door on time, the air fryer will be the kitchen assistant you didn’t know you had.
• The same cinnamon rolls you’ve enjoyed baked in the oven cook way faster in the air fryer and with the same delicious taste.
• With almost no effort and the most amazing aroma these Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls are always a delicious treat.
• If you’re used to the time it takes to bake cinnamon rolls, air frying them will be a game changer! The hot air in the air fryer circulates around the cinnamon rolls for delicious cinnamon rolls every time.
• Air frying is the fastest and easiest way to bake cinnamon rolls using pre-made dough.
