Ingredient Notes:

Cinnamon roll bites ingredients spread out on a countertop.

Canned cinnamon rolls – Be sure to use refrigerated cinnamon rolls that are shaped more like biscuits rather than rolled like a traditional cinnamon roll. The Pillsbury original cinnamon rolls (not the Grands! version) work perfectly.

Cinnamon & Sugar – These give the cinnamon roll bites a little texture on the outside and amps up that cinnamon flavor.

How to make cinnamon roll bites in an air fryer:

Prep the cinnamon rolls – Cut each roll into 4 pieces and roll it between your hands to form a ball.

Cook the bites– Brush oil onto your air fryer basket or spritz it with oil. Add your cinnamon roll balls in a single layer, not letting them touch. Cook at 350 degrees F for 6 minutes.

Toss in sugar – Add the sugar and cinnamon to a small bowl and toss each cinnamon roll bite in that mixture. Then warm the icing and serve it as a dip for the bites!

FAQ’s:

How do I store the leftovers?

Pop your leftover cinnamon roll bites into a zip top bag or other airtight container and store on the counter for 2-3 days. Rewarm in the air fryer for 1 minute before serving. Store any leftover frosting in the fridge.

How long do these take to cook?

Our cinnamon roll bites took 6 minutes in the air fryer, but different air fryer do cook at different rates. The cinnamon rolls should be golden brown on the outside and fully cooked in the center. Adjust the cook time in 1 minute increments, as needed.

My kids love when we make these cinnamon roll bites, mostly because it means they get to dip their cinnamon rolls into frosting rather than spread it on top. Makes it a bit more fun!
