Donuts, donuts, and more donuts are everyone’s favorite. Today, I made a simple batch of my childhood favorites, Air Fryer Cinnamon Roll Donuts.
They are quick and delicious and provide a leisurely, grab-and-go breakfast.
Homemade air-fried donuts are a unique easy treat, and they will save you a ton of money on trips to the donut store.
Most people start air frying with a basic donut recipe, using biscuit dough available in the refrigerator section. (Check out my link to that, it’s a great beginner recipe, so if you are looking for a great recipe, start with it, as you only need one ingredient) It’s a great air-frying hack but doesn’t give you the real donut experience. To get you to mix the dough, use yeast, and let it rise. This way, you get a light donut.
If you are looking for homemade air fryer donut recipes, I have some great ones for the air fryer, including AIR FRYER EASY FUNFETTI CAKE MIX DONUTS, AIR FRYER RASPBERRY LEMON DONUTS, AIR FRYER COPYCAT KRISPY KREME DONUTS, and AIR FRYER CHURRO DONUTS.
Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Cinnamon Roll Donuts
While you do not need a lot of ingredients for this recipe, you can use several different items. I love making these with the holiday Cinnamon Roll flavors, such as Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls, Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls, Peaches and Cream, Hot Cocoa Cinnamon Rolls, Cinnamon Crunch Cinnamon Rolls, and even Strawberry and Cream Cinnamon Rolls.
They all work fantastically!
How To Make Air Fryer Cinnamon Roll Donuts
Step One: Prepare Your Cinnamon Roll Dough
Remove the Cinnamon Rolls From the Package and use your hand to flatten them.

Use your biscuit cutter, cut out the middle, and put the centers to the side.

Spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray. And place your cinnamon roll donuts in the basket. Set the temperature to 320 degrees F and set the air fryer for 5 to 6 minutes.
Immediately drizzle the icing on top of the cinnamon roll donut.
What Cinnamon Rolls Can I Use For This Recipe?
While today, I used Pillsbury Rolls. You can use any brand you want for this recipe; I have used Trader Joe’s and the store brand in the same recipe with the same results. I have also used Aldi’s Brand and Costco for the same formula.
Why Make Cinnamon Roll Donuts?
While you can make them in regular shape, these are FUN. And who doesn’t love a fun breakfast with the family that takes less than 10 minutes?
Truthfully, everyone will eat these; I have never met anyone who would pass on an Air Fryer Cinnamon Roll Donut!
How do you make Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls?
You can use any air fryer you want; I have used the same recipe in different air fryers over the years.
I have used this in the Ninja Foodi, The Instant Pot Vortex, and the Instant Pot Crisping Lid. The recipe will work the same.
How long do you cook Air Fryer Cinnamon Roll Donuts?
The exact time will depend on what air fryer you own, but I find that anywhere from 5 to 8 minutes works perfectly.
If you want an even better batch of Air Fryer Cinnamon Roll Donuts, add the icing to the cinnamon roll donuts and let the air fryer melt the icing. So good and easy. Just be careful that you do not burn yourself.
Can you use Aluminum Foil or Parchment Paper in the Air Fryer?
Yes, I have used both without any problems. I have a couple of pieces of advice about using foil and parchment paper.
For foil, the most important thing is that you do not obstruct the airflow. Remember, the air fryer works by circulating hot air around the air fryer machine. When you limit the airflow, you will notice that your food takes longer to cook.
Of parchment paper, many people have been having fires with it. Because the food is not weighted down properly. You need to ensure that your food weighs the parchment paper down during cooking.
Or use a Reusebale Air Fryer Liner. The silicone’s weight will ensure that the parchment paper does not fly around the air fryer basket, and there will be no fire as a result.
What about biscuits in the air fryer?
You can cook anything in the air fryer; one of my favorite and first recipes was a can of Pillsbury Biscuits in the Air Fryer, which was perfect and delicious.

Amazing! My family gave them two thumbs up!
This was fantastic! Super easy, better than in the oven.
Mine didn’t look like donuts. They looked just like cinnabon cinnamon rolls. They didn’t look like you rolls, mine were like a coil. But they were delicious!
Well, it is good that they were delicious. Did you use a biscuit cutter?
