Air Fryer Pancakes
Enjoy fluffy, golden brown pancakes made effortlessly in an air fryer, combining the beloved taste of pancakes with the convenience of air frying.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk Can use a non-dairy alternative.
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter Can substitute with non-dairy alternatives.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Stir well to blend the dry ingredients.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined; small lumps are okay.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Line the base of your air fryer basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Cooking
- Spoon a portion of the batter onto the prepared parchment paper, allowing space between each pancake.
- Air fry for about 6-8 minutes or until the pancakes are puffed and lightly browned.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the pancakes are ready.
- Remove the pancakes gently using a spatula, and repeat with the remaining batter.
Notes
Serve pancakes warm with maple syrup, honey, or fresh fruits. Personalize with toppings like nuts or yogurt for added flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container or freeze for later enjoyment.
