Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tube of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (look for organic or low-sugar options for a healthier twist)
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or light butter (optional for extra crispiness)
- 1/2 teaspoon extra ground cinnamon
- For the Healthy Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (plain)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). While the air fryer warms up, open your package of cinnamon rolls. Lightly brush the bottom of the air fryer basket with a tiny bit of coconut oil or line it with a piece of perforated parchment paper designed for air fryers. This prevents sticking and ensures a mess-free cleanup. If you want extra spice, sprinkle a little extra ground cinnamon over the raw rolls before placing them in the basket.
- Place the cinnamon rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure they are not touching; leaving about half an inch of space between them allows the hot air to circulate fully, which creates that desired crispy texture. Cook for 7 to 9 minutes. At the 7-minute mark, check for a deep golden-brown color. Depending on the power of your air fryer, they might need an extra minute or two, but watch them closely so the sugar doesn’t burn.
- While the rolls are still hot, whisk together the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla to create your healthy glaze. Carefully remove the crispy cinnamon rolls from the basket using tongs. Place them on a serving plate and drizzle the glaze immediately over the warm tops. The heat will melt the glaze slightly, allowing it to seep into the warm swirls. Serve immediately while the exterior is at its crispiest.
