Making Cinnamon rolls in air fryer is really fast and easy! This recipe is made with a simple, no yeast dough that only requires 3 ingredients. They are fluffy, full of cinnamon flavour and drizzled with a light frosting.
- 1 cup greek yoghurt full fat
- 1 ½-3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tbsp (30 g) butter melted
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon greek style yoghurt
- 2-3 tablespoon powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste, powder or extract
-
Add the greek yoghurt to a mixing bowl. Stir together the flour and baking powder. Pour in 1 cup of the flour mixture and start mixing with a wooden spoon. Gradually add more flour until the dough starts to come together.
-
Knead the dough by hand on a well floured surface. If your dough is too sticky to work with, add more flour a little at the time. You might need up to 1 ¾ cups. You want the dough to hold its shape and not to stick to your hands. Knead for about 1-2 min then let it rest for 5 min.
-
On a well floured surface, roll out your dough to a rectangle shape. Mix the melted butter, sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Spread the mixture onto of the dough in an even layer.
-
Roll the dough up tight and cut into 8 equal pieces.
-
Preheat your air fryer on bake 180C (350F) by running your air fryer for 5 min.
-
Cut out a pice of parchment paper to fit the bottom of your air fryer and poke small holes in it to let the air circulate. Place the cinnamon rolls in the air fryer basket, living some space in-between them. If you have a small air fryer, you may need to bake the cinnamon rolls in two batches. Brush them lightly with the milk.
-
Cook for about 10-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and baked through. Carefully move them to a cooling rack and top with the optional frosting.
-
Mix together all the ingredients in a small bowl. Add more or less sugar to your taste. Frost the cinnamon rolls when they have cooled down a little.
Best served warm. Enjoy!
