In this article, we’ll show you how to perfectly cook frozen waffles in your air fryer. From the best time and temperature to serving ideas and creative ways to top your air fryer waffles, you will find everything you need to know to make delicious and crisp waffles in no time.

🧇Why Air Fry Frozen Waffles?

You might wonder, “Why not just use my toaster?“. Here are some excellent reasons to consider air frying waffles.

• You don’t have much counter space and want to get rid of your toaster or toaster oven.
• Your toaster only holds 2 waffles at a time, making it time intensive to make a waffle breakfast for your family.
• The toaster cooks unevenly, so the waffles are either too soggy or burnt on the outside.

For me, getting perfect waffles that are fluffy inside and crispy outside is always a challenge. I like thick Belgian waffles, and they just don’t come out great with my toaster.

They are either too cold inside or too brown outside. Air frying, on the other hand, gives me the perfect texture.

Plus, it is consistent and dependable. There is no fiddling around with the dial on the toaster and toasting them multiple times in an attempt to get it right.

❓What Kind of Waffles to Use

Any type of waffle works fine. If you use thick waffles, they might need an extra minute of cooking time. Use your favorite brand and style, whether blueberry waffles, chocolate chip waffles, or just plain waffles.

You can make Eggo mini waffles, gluten-free waffles, keto chaffles, frozen potato waffles, protein waffles, or any other type you like. Whatever your personal preferences are, you can air fry a waffle.

🥣How to Make Frozen Waffles in Air Fryer

1. Put the waffles in the air fryer in a single layer. Avoid overlapping or stacking them.
2. Cook at 360 degrees F for 3 minutes. Use tongs to flip them over and cook them for another 2-3 minutes.
3. They are done when they are golden brown and crispy.

🍴Creative Topping Ideas

One of the best things about waffles is that they can be topped with almost anything. Here are some delicious toppings to try on your waffle stack.

• Fresh berries and whipped cream
• Peanut butter and banana slices
• Chocolate chips and powdered sugar
• Extra butter and maple syrup
• Yogurt and granola

Experiment with different toppings or set up a waffle bar for a fun family brunch!

🍓What to Serve with Waffles

Serve hot waffles with your favorite breakfast foods. Hash browns, fried eggs, and bacon or breakfast sausage make a delicious breakfast. Fresh fruit like berries and grapefruit is always an excellent addition to the menu.
