Air Fryer Mini Cinnamon Rolls Popular Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- One 8-ounce can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- All-purpose flour, for rolling
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 teaspoons whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Steps for making Air Fryer Mini Cinnamon Rolls
- Spray a silicone egg bites mold or small (12-cup) mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Spread the crescent dough out on a lightly floured surface. Press the perforations to seal and roll it out into an 8-by-12-inch rectangle. Spread 3 tablespoons of butter over the dough. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon and the brown sugar. With the short end facing you, cut the dough horizontally into 12 strips, each 1 inch wide. Roll each strip up to form a spiral. Place the rolls spiral side up in the prepared pan. If using a silicone egg bites mold you may need to work in batches.
- Place the pan or silicone mold in a 6-quart air fryer. Cook at 325 degrees F until deeply golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the icing. Microwave the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a microwave-safe cup until melted, about 15 seconds. Combine the confectioners’ sugar, milk, vanilla and remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Whisk in the melted butter until smooth. Set aside.
- Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool for 3 minutes before removing them from the pan. Drizzle the frosting over the warm rolls and serve.
