How to store and reheat
Store leftover cinnamon roll bites in an airtight container for 2-3 days. To reheat, place in air fryer at 300°F for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.
Microwaving is another quick reheating option too. Just place in a microwave safe plate lined with paper towel then microwave on medium power at 30 secs intervals until warmed through.
Air frying Tips
- No need to preheat the air fryer
- Do not overcrowd the basket so that these can cook evenly.
- You can double the recipe but you may need to cook in batches.
- Because these are bite sized, I prefer to cook them at 330°F (165°F) vs 350°F (180°C) because I prefer the texture I get with the lower temperature better.
