It comes our soft and fluffy and a drizzle of glaze on the warm rolls is simply heavenly.

    Pillsbury Cinnamon rolls cook time?

    Most canned cinnamon rolls cook in 8 minutes in the air fryer. I have tried both the Pillsbury brand and most store brands and I find that they all cook at approximately 8 minutes in the air fryer. You can add another minute or two if you find that this doesn’t work for you or if you want the top slightly crispy.

      Tried these. Didn’t work for me. I left them and extra 5 min and still doughy
      Even turned up the temp to 350 and even turned them over.

        Hi Shelby,

        Sorry this didn’t work for you. I am more than happy to troubleshoot. This recipe was tested in my Cosori 5.8qt and Gourmia 6 qt. May I ask the brand of your air fryer?

        Air fryer recipes as with other recipes are guides. You can adjust your time accordingly as needed. I would think in your case your cinnamon rolls needed more time and not necessarily increase in temp. Hope that helps. Thanks for letting me know.
