What You Need
- 1 Can Refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls (5-count or 8-count): Any brand works, but Grands cinnamon rolls make huge bakery-sized donuts!
- 1/2 Cup Melted Butter or Cooking Spray: To help the air fryer crisp up the edges.
- Included Icing Container: Came in the can, warmed up for 10 seconds for easy drizzling!
How To Make Air Fryer Cinnamon Roll Donuts
- Pop open your can of cinnamon roll dough and separate the rolls.
- Use a small 1-inch round cutter (or a bottle cap) to punch a hole right out of the center of each roll to form a donut shape. Save the centers for mini donut holes!
- Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray the basket.
- Place 3 to 4 donut rings in the basket in a single layer without touching. Air fry at 350°F for 5 to 6 minutes until puffed and golden.
- Warm the icing cup in the microwave for 10 seconds, then dip the warm donuts right into the icing!
Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite morning coffee!
