I’ve always been a fan of cinnamon rolls for breakfast, but to be honest, making them homemade was just too hard to muster that early in the morning. But once I discovered this crazy simple recipe for Air Fryer Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls, I know that I’ll never be making my cinnamon rolls any other way.

And did I mention that the best part about these Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls is that you literally don’t have to do anything at all except open the package and put them in the air fryer? How can something this easy has taken me so many years to make?! Regardless, I’m making up for the lost time now because I’m constantly making these for the family and I have no regrets in doing so.

AIR FRYER CINNAMON ROLLS

Since you just have to get remade cinnamon rolls to make this recipe happen, it literally couldn’t be a simpler recipe to make. There’s no mixing. No “patiently” waiting for the dough to rise, no waking up early to roll the cinnamon rolls…none of that.

It’s as simple as opening up the can and popping them in your Air Fryer. Because life in the morning with cinnamon rolls is just such a better way to live.

Your eyes aren’t tricking you…this is literally all you’re going to need.

If you’re a visual person like me, these pictures will help you see exactly what you need to do to get perfect air-fried cinnamon rolls each and every time.

Air Fryer Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls

Cook at 350 for 7 minutes.

Flip them at 5 minutes (the tops will get too cooked if you don’t flip them)

Cook the remaining 2 minutes, then top them with the glaze.

Viola! Just like that you have fresh and hot delicious cinnamon rolls that will have everyone getting out bed fast!

Air Fryer Cinnamon Roll FAQS

Will this air fryer recipe work for biscuits and other remade doughs?

You bet. You might have to alter the cooking time a bit but I love this “trick” when I’m cooking up dough that I’ve bought from the store. I’ve made canned biscuits this way, too.

What happens when you overcook your cinnamon rolls in the air fryer?

Unfortunately, they’re going to be burnt. You might be able to cut off the top or bottom and salvage them but there’s always a chance that they might be ruined, too. Just pay attention to the cooking time and you should be fine!

What are some fun topping ideas for cinnamon rolls?

The glaze is great but you can always add on some fun sprinkles, shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, or anything else that you want!
