Method
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C.
In a bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potato, melted butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and sea salt until smooth.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions.
Flatten each piece into a small circle.
Spoon a generous teaspoon of the sweet potato mixture into the centre.
Fold the dough around the filling and pinch firmly to seal into smooth balls.
Arrange the dough balls in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each one.
Air fry for 8–10 minutes, until beautifully risen and golden brown.
Mix together the melted butter, cinnamon and brown sugar.
Brush the hot cinnamon roll bombs generously with the cinnamon butter.
Whisk together the cream cheese, maple syrup, icing sugar and vanilla until smooth.
Drizzle the maple cream cheese glaze over the warm bombs.
Finish with chopped toasted pecans if using.
Serve warm while the centres are still soft and fluffy.
