There’s nothing better than a warm sticky bun on a chilly morning, or any morning for that matter. Hot out of the air fryer, dripping with butter-honey and loaded with coconut, these treats are pure heaven!
PREP: 20 MIN. + RISING
COOK: 20 MIN./BATCH
MAKES: 16 SERVINGS
- 1 loaf (1 lb.) frozen bread dough, thawed
- 4 oz. (½ cup) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 3 Tbsp. thawed orange juice concentrate
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup honey
- Optional: Toasted sweetened shredded coconut and grated orange zest
1. Grease two 8-in. round baking pans that fit in air fryer. Cut thawed bread dough in half; roll each half into a 10x8-in. rectangle. Combine cream cheese, coconut and orange juice concentrate; spread mixture on dough. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with long side. Cut each roll crosswise into 8 slices; place in prepared pans. Cover; let rise until almost doubled, about 1 hour.
2. Preheat air fryer to 325°. In a microwave, melt butter and honey. Spoon 1 Tbsp. butter-honey mixture over each bun. In batches, place pans in air fryer; cook until tops are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Immediately invert onto a serving plate. If desired, top with toasted coconut and orange zest.
