Air Fryer Hocus Pocus Buns

One of the best things about having an Air Fryer is making delicious buns in just a few minutes with no mess. I love these because they are so simple to whip up and taste amazing!

They have a slightly crispy outside, but there’s also a soft inside from being cooked with the hot air in the Air Fryer. This makes for a fantastic breakfast, snack, or dessert!

This batch of Air Fryer Hocus Pocus Buns is so good!

The perfect doughnut for Halloween is not just a plain glazed or jelly-filled pastry. It has been baked to perfection, then covered with cinnamon sugar, and topped off with icing, sprinkles, and any other toppings your heart desires!

Enter Air Fryer Hocus Pocus Buns – the most delicious recipe you’ll ever find on this site. With only a few ingredients (a can of biscuit dough, marshmallow, butter, and ground cinnamon), these sweet treats will become your new favorite thing at breakfast time.

If you have been looking for the perfect Air Fryer Dessert, my favorite recipes are AIR FRYER APPLE PLUM TARTS, AIR FRYER CARAMEL APPLE HAND PIES, AIR FRYER APPLE PIE BAKED APPLES, and AIR FRYER CARAMEL APPLE DANISH.

What Are Hocus Pocus Buns?

I have a recipe for you today that is so easy and yummy. It’s called Hocus Pocus Buns! I’m not sure where the name came from, but it tastes like cinnamon rolls without the time it takes to make them.

I have a recipe that promises to take the struggle out of making buns. It’s called hocus pocus because it will make your job look magic. I call them hocus pocus buns because they are so simple that you’ll feel like you’re doing some trickery! The dough doesn’t need kneading, rising, or shaping, which makes this an ideal recipe for Air Fryer beginners looking for something quick and easy.

The ingredients are also pretty basic – no fancy, hard-to-find items are required. They are so good! They will be disappearing from your kitchen in minutes!

Pro Tips:

Prepare The Basket: Spray your basket with cooking spray, or line it with an Air Fryer Reusable Silicone Liner/Mat.

Crowing The Basket: While we all like to get as much food as possible, crowding the basket causes your dough not fully to cook up. So, for best results, leave space between the rolls.

What Air Fryer To Use: This recipe will work in any Air Fryer Basket or Oven Model. This recipe will also work in any Spcificaily Air Fryers, including the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, and the Mealthy Lid.

Cooking Time: The cooking time will depend on your air fryer. For best results, check on your Air Fryer Hocus Pocus Buns frequently while cooking up. So they don’t end up burnt.

VARIATIONS:

While today, I used a classic recipe for Air Fryer Hocus Pocus Buns, there are many variations.

Some of my favorites worth mentioning are:

Dough: While today, I went with a crescent dough sheet, you can easily use crescent rolls, biscuits, or even frozen rolls (thawed).

Marshmallows: I used a large marshmallow. You can also make these with mini marshmallows and colored ones for a more colorful dessert. Chocolate or Pumpkin flavored marshmallows are other great options.

Coating: I went with the classic granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, but you can also use granulated sugar and pumpkin pie spice. You can also mix powdered sugar and milk, a simple icing, or even add melted chocolate, powdered sugar, and milk for a chocolate drizzle.
