Air Fryer Frozen Waffles

How to Cook Air Fryer Frozen Waffles

We love waffles but don’t always have the time to make it from scratch. Air fried frozen waffles are a quick way to enjoy a waffle breakfast without a lot of fuss! We tested frozen waffles in the microwave and they definitely come out a little softer. But if you like your waffles to have slightly crisp top and edges, then try these air fried frozen waffles. It’s so easy to grab a few frozen waffles straight from the freezer and right into the air fryer basket or rack. Voila, breakfast is served in just a few minutes. Add some fresh berries or fruit, a little drizzle of syrup to complete the quick and easy breakfast. Kids will love these! All recipe details, time and temp are in the recipe box below.

Different brands frozen waffles all vary in size, thickness, ingredients (some with more sweetener might brown quicker, different flours, etc. ) so you’ll have to adjust timing. Only cook a single layer's worth at time for even cooking. Cook in multiple batches if needed.

All air fryers are different and some cook much hotter than others. Once you cook your first batch, you’ll know more of what works for your model of air fryer and size of food. These were tested on basket style air fryers. Read more recipe notes below the recipe. Nutrition will vary depending on individual brands.

Notes

Air Frying Tips and Notes:

1. No Oil Necessary. Cook Frozen - Do not thaw first.
2. Cook in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
3. Recipe timing is based on a non-preheated air fryer. If cooking in multiple batches back to back, the following batches may cook a little quicker. 
4. Recipes were tested in 3.7 to 6 qt. air fryers. If using a larger air fryer, they might cook quicker so adjust cooking time.

If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).
