Ingredients for Keto Cinnamon Rolls Tortillas Air Fryer
Here’s everything you’ll need for these magical little rolls – and trust me, you probably have most of it in your kitchen already! The key is using quality low-carb tortillas (I’m obsessed with almond flour ones) and real butter for that perfect richness.
- 2 low-carb tortillas – About 8-inch size (I use Mission or Siete brand)
- 2 tbsp butter, melted – The real stuff, none of that margarine nonsense!
- 2 tbsp granulated erythritol – Measure it loose, not packed
- 1 tsp cinnamon – Fresh ground if you’ve got it
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened – Let it sit out for 30 minutes
- 1 tbsp powdered erythritol – For that smooth frosting texture
- ½ tsp vanilla extract – Pure, not imitation
See? Simple ingredients that come together to make something magical. Now let’s get rolling!
Equipment Needed
You’ll just need a few basics from your kitchen to make these cinnamon roll dreams come true:
- Air fryer – Any brand will work, but I love my Cosori for even cooking
- Small mixing bowls – One for the cinnamon mix, one for the frosting
- Pastry brush – For that perfect buttery coating
- Sharp knife – Makes clean cuts through the rolled tortillas
No fancy gadgets needed – just simple tools for seriously delicious results!
How to Make Keto Cinnamon Rolls Tortillas Air Fryer
Okay, let’s make some magic happen! These come together so fast you’ll wonder why you ever messed with yeast dough. Just follow these simple steps for perfect cinnamon rolls every time.
Step 1: Preheat and Mix Dry Ingredients
First things first – get that air fryer heating to 350°F (175°C). While it’s warming up, grab a small bowl and mix together your granulated erythritol and cinnamon. I like to use a fork to really blend them well – you want every bite to have that perfect cinnamon-sugar balance!
Step 2: Assemble and Roll
Now for the fun part! Lay out your tortillas and brush them generously with melted butter – this helps everything stick and gives that golden crisp we love. Sprinkle your cinnamon mixture evenly over each one, then roll them up tight like little cinnamon-y cigars. Pro tip: Roll away from yourself for the neatest spirals! Use a sharp knife to slice into 1-inch pieces – don’t worry if some filling leaks out, that’s just extra flavor.
Step 3: Air Fry and Frost
Pop those beautiful rolls in your preheated air fryer basket, giving them a little space to puff up. Cook for about 8 minutes – you’ll know they’re ready when they’re golden brown and smells amazing. While they cook, whip up the easiest frosting ever: just beat together the cream cheese, powdered erythritol and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle it over the warm rolls right after cooking and watch it melt into every crevice. Oh my goodness – absolute heaven in every bite!
Tips for Perfect Keto Cinnamon Rolls Tortillas Air Fryer
After making these dozens of times (okay, maybe hundreds – no judgment!), I’ve learned a few tricks to guarantee perfect rolls every single time:
- Almond flour tortillas are magic – They crisp up beautifully without getting tough like some low-carb options
- Taste your cinnamon mix – Adjust the erythritol to your sweetness preference before rolling
- Give them breathing room – Overcrowding the air fryer basket leads to uneven cooking
- Roll tight, slice clean – A sharp knife dipped in warm water makes clean cuts through the sticky filling
Follow these simple tips, and you’ll be the keto cinnamon roll hero of your household! If you are looking for other quick air fryer desserts, check out my air fryer churro bites.
Variations for Keto Cinnamon Rolls Tortillas Air Fryer
Want to mix things up? Try these fun twists that keep things low-carb but add new flavors. Coconut flour tortillas work great if you love that subtle nutty taste. For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts inside before rolling. Feeling adventurous? A pinch of cardamom in the cinnamon mix takes these to another level!

Serving and Storing Keto Cinnamon Rolls Tortillas Air Fryer
Oh my goodness, you’ll want to eat these warm – that’s when the cinnamon filling is all gooey and the cream cheese frosting melts into every nook! If you miraculously have leftovers (I never do), pop them in an airtight container for up to 2 days. A quick 30-second zap in the microwave brings them right back to life. Pro tip: Store any extra frosting separately – it keeps beautifully in the fridge for up to a week!
Nutritional Information
Here’s the scoop on what’s in each delicious roll – but remember, these are estimates and can vary based on your specific ingredients and brands. One keto cinnamon roll made with almond flour tortillas clocks in at about 90 calories, 5g net carbs, and 7g of that good fat we love. Perfect for keeping you satisfied without the sugar crash!

FAQ About Keto Cinnamon Rolls Tortillas Air Fryer
Got questions? I’ve got answers! Here are the most common things people ask me about these magical keto cinnamon rolls:
Can I use regular tortillas instead of low-carb?
You absolutely can, but they won’t be keto-friendly anymore. Regular flour tortillas will puff up more and taste delicious, but you’re looking at about 20g net carbs per roll instead of 5g. If you’re not strict keto, go for it – just know what you’re getting into!
How do I reheat leftovers?
Easy peasy! Just pop them in the air fryer at 300°F for 2-3 minutes to crisp them back up. The microwave works too (about 30 seconds), but they won’t have that perfect crispy exterior. Pro tip: Add fresh frosting after reheating for best results!
Can I make these in the oven instead?
Of course! Bake at 350°F for about 12-15 minutes on a parchment-lined sheet. They won’t get quite as golden as the air fryer version, but they’ll still taste amazing. Just keep an eye on them – ovens can vary wildly.
Why are my rolls sticking to the basket?
Oh no! Next time, give your air fryer basket a quick spray with avocado oil or use parchment paper cut to fit. The sugar in the filling can get sticky when hot. Also make sure you’re using enough butter – that helps create a non-stick barrier too.
Can I freeze these?
You bet! Freeze them unfrosted on a baking sheet first (so they don’t stick together), then transfer to a freezer bag. When the craving hits, air fry from frozen at 320°F for 5-6 minutes. Make fresh frosting and drizzle while warm – perfection!
