Air Fryer Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls Recipe Tips
- Use Puff Pastry for Ease: Puff pastry makes the preparation quick and simple, giving you light and flaky rolls without the need for traditional dough rising and kneading.
- Even Butter Spread: Ensure the butter is well-softened so it spreads easily and evenly over the puff pastry.
- Proper Sugar and Spice Mixture: Mix the brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice thoroughly before sprinkling it over the buttered pastry.
- Rolling Technique: Roll the puff pastry tightly to avoid gaps, which helps the rolls hold their shape and ensures even baking.
- Cutting the Rolls: Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the rolled pastry into even slices.
- Cooking Time: Air fry the rolls at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes, checking halfway through to ensure they are cooking evenly.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Place the rolls in a single layer with space between them to allow hot air to circulate.
- Cooling and Icing: Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before drizzling with icing, which can be made from powdered sugar and a bit of milk or vanilla.
Air Fryer Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls Recipe Faq
Can I bake these cinnamon rolls in a regular oven instead of an air fryer? Yes! Bake them at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Can I use fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned pumpkin? Absolutely, just make sure the puree is well-drained to avoid extra moisture in the rolls.
How do I store leftover pumpkin cinnamon rolls? Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Can I freeze the cinnamon rolls? Yes, freeze unfrosted rolls in a sealed container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating and frosting.
Can I add nuts or raisins to the filling? Definitely! Chopped pecans or walnuts and raisins make great additions for extra texture and flavor.
How do I prevent the rolls from drying out in the air fryer? Avoid overcooking and check them early; using parchment paper helps keep moisture in.
