Notes
- Adjust cooking time based on the machine being used.
- Brushing rolls with almond milk adds a lovely glaze to the top of each roll - don't leave this step out!
- Check the cinnamon rolls at 6 minutes. You can always add more time.
- Premade cinnamon rolls are a great option if you're short on time.
- You can also use a piece of parchment paper to keep them from sticking. Look for parchment specifically made for air fryer recipes.
- If you find the tops are browning too quickly, you can flip the cinnamon rolls over and then finish the baking time. This may not be necessary with smaller cinnamon rolls.
- Place the cinnamon rolls in a single layer. Don't overlap them or they won't cook properly. You can always cook multiple batches if needed.
- You'll know the cinnamon rolls are done when they're lightly browned on top and on the bottom. If you want them to be a little more crispy, cook for 1-2 minutes more.
