Ingredients
  

For the cinnamon rolls

  • 1 can refrigerated dough (like biscuit or cinnamon roll dough) Use the freshest dough available.
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter Brush evenly on dough.

For serving (optional)

  • icing or cream cheese frosting Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Unroll the refrigerated dough on a clean surface. If using biscuit dough, flatten each biscuit with a rolling pin to create a larger rectangle.
  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon filling.
  • Brush the melted butter evenly over the surface of the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over it.
  • Starting from one end, roll the dough into a tight log, ensuring you retain the filling.
  • Slice the log into even pieces, about 1 to 2 inches thick.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Arrange the rolls in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them.

Cooking

  • Cook the rolls for about 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and fluffy, checking halfway through and shaking the basket for even cooking.

Serving

  • Drizzle icing or cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls before serving.

Notes

To achieve the best result, use fresh dough and do not overcrowd the air fryer. Let the rolls sit in the basket for a couple of minutes before serving for better texture. For a creamy filling variation, substitute cinnamon and sugar with a cream cheese mixture.
