    Best canned cinnamon roll brand for this recipe

    I love Pillsbury canned cinnamon rolls however it didn’t quite work out for this recipe when I was trying to unroll the rolls. They were tightly packed and almost stuck together. The other two listed below were the ones that worked for me because the rolls were easily separated and unrolled.

    • Signature select (ACME store brand)
    • Annie’s cinnamon rolls

    Ingredients

    • Recommend canned cinnamon rolls
    • Easter themed m and ms

    Substitutions

    You can use home made bread dough or store bought refrigerated bread though. Canned croissants sheets will work as well but you will need to fill and roll with cinnamon sugar and butter then cut it into individual rolls before you can make the cinnamon roll bunnies.

    How to make cinnamon roll bunnies in air fryer

    This is an overview of the recipe with step by step photos. Scroll down to end of post for a printable recipe card with the amount of ingredients and full recipe instructions.

    Open the can of refrigerated dough, gently unroll the dough half way through. The unrolled strip should be long enough to form a letter m for the bunny ears. Pinch the middle of the m shaped dough then pinch the end onto the rest of the cinnamon roll (representing the head)

    Repeat for the rest of the dough. Place in a parchment paper lined air fryer basket and bake for 330 F for 6 mins, then flip over and bake for another 2 mins. Fell free to cook for longer if yours isn't cooked through at this point.

    Spread glaze on the rolls and serve immediately. Top with Easter m & ms if serving as a dessert.

    How long does it take to air fry a cinnamon roll?

    The timing can vary based on the size of the cinnamon roll, how crowded the air fryer basket is and the temperature it’s being cooked at but a good estimate is going to be between 8-10 minutes of time.

    Once the top of the rolls starts to turn golden-brown, that’s your cue that they’re ready to be taken out to start the cooling process.

    How to store and reheat

    If you’re fortunate to have leftover cinnamon rolls, this just means that you’ll get to enjoy that flavor again! Store any leftovers in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge. They’ll stay good for 1-2 days. 

    To reheat, you can pop them in the microwave for a few seconds, and they’ll soften and warm right up!

    Air frying Tips

    • To soften the frosting that comes with the can of cinnamon rolls, hold it in your hands for a little bit. The warmth of your hands will soften up the frosting to easily be drizzled over the top.
    • To make a simple glaze, combine some vanilla, powdered sugar, and milk, and whisk. This is a simple way to add a tiny bit of sweetness by making a homemade glaze instead.

    Frequently asked questions

    Should cinnamon rolls touch while cooking?

    For this bunny cinnamon roll recipe, you don’t want them touching, and you don’t want to overcrowd the air fryer basket!

    How do you moisten dry cinnamon rolls?

    If you find that the leftover cinnamon rolls are dried out, just put a microwave-safe cup with water in with your cinnamon rolls and reheat for 30 seconds. This will add moisture to them, and they’ll be moist again!

    Notes

    1. Use perforated parchment paper for easy of flipping and to remove the need to spray some oil on the basket
    2. Flip the cinnamon rolls over in the last 2 minutes of cook time to ensure the underside cooks as well.
    3. Air fryers cook definitely it’s ok to cook for more or less time than indicated in the recipe if you need to start checking at 6 minute if making it for the first time.
    4. If you find that sugar glaze that comes in the can difficult to spread, pop it into the microwave without the metal lid and nuke for 2 to 5 seconds to soften it to a spreadable consistency ​
