Ingredients

For the rolls

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ⅛ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp butter cold, cut into cubes
  • ⅓ cup whole milk

For the cinnamon filling

  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Cream Cheese Icing

  • 2 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 tbsp butter softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp milk optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 320°F. Grease a 7-inch round cake pan.
  • Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a mixing bowl. Stir together.
  • Add the butter and use a couple of forks or your fingers to smash the butter into the flour mixture until it looks like damp sand.
  • Stir in the milk. The dough should come together in a soft clump.
  • Place the dough on a floured counter and roll out into a 9 x 12 rectangle.
  • Mix the ingredients for the cinnamon filling together in a bowl.
  • Spread the filling over the dough.
  • Start at one of the short sides of the dough and roll it up into a log.
  • Cut the log into 6 sections (about 1 ½ inches wide) and place them into the cake pan.
  • Place the pan into the air fryer basket and bake for 10 to 14 minutes.
  • While the cinnamon rolls bake, make the icing.
  • Place the cream cheese and the butter in a bowl and stir well.
  • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and stir until creamy. Stir in the milk if you want a thinner icing.
  • Remove the rolls from the air fryer and drizzle the glaze over the top.

Notes

  • Different models of air fryers will bake at different rates. Check the rolls after 10 minutes and bake them longer if needed.
