How to Cook Air Fryer Frozen Pancakes
Love pancakes but don’t have the time to make it from scratch? Air fried frozen pancakes are the answer and they’re really quite amazing! We tested frozen pancakes in the microwave and they definitely come out a little softer. But if you like your pancakes to have slightly crisp top and edges, then air fried frozen pancakes is for you. We love how easy it is to just grab a few frozen pancakes straight from the freezer and into the air fryer. Voila, breakfast is served in just a few minutes. Add some fresh berries or fruit, a little drizzle of pancake syrup and bellies are happy! All recipe details, time and temp are in the recipe box below.

Different Brands of Frozen pancakes
The brand we tested Great Value. They tasted great. There’s so many different brands out there and the pancakes vary in size and thickness. Also, air fryers cook different too as some cook hotter and quicker than others. So our time and temp is a starting point for you. You can test one first and see how it works for your specific model and type of pancake.
Air Fryer Frozen Pancakes
Ingredients
- 3 Frozen Pancakes
Equipment
Instructions
- Place the frozen pancakes in the air fryer basket and spread in an even layer (make sure they aren't overlapping). No oil spray is needed.
- Air Fry at 330°F/165°C for 4-5 minutes to get it soft & heated through. If you want crispy, cook for an extra 1-2 minutes.
Notes
- No Oil Necessary. Cook Frozen - Do not thaw first.
- Cook in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- 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.
- 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).

My 14 year old is now hooked on air frying his frozen pancakes. bye bye toaster!
This came out really good. It’s not soggy and it definitely heated all the way through. So glad it doesn’t take much time to cook.
