Air Fryer Pancakes

Air fryer pancakes with Bisquick are fun to make and easy if you only want to make one or two. Fluffy and tasty breakfast everyone loves with homemade or boxed pancake mix.

Pancakes in Air Fryer

If you are traveling and only have this hot air machine in your RV or hotel room, air fryer cooking is a great way to make your favorite breakfast treat. No need for a stovetop and pan anymore, you can now make pancakes in air fryer.

Yes we like adding things like our banana chocolate chip pancakes to make it tastier too. Feel free to add some of those too. If you’re the only one in the house, or the only one who wants something to eat in the morning this is great.

If you are going to use this brand of machine it is not different other than you will need to use the lid that is attached. Other than that the directions below remain the same.

Ingredients

1. 1 c. Pancake mix, this makes it really easy so no baking soda or powder are needed
2. 3/4 c. water or milk is better to keep them moist
3. We threw in some mini chocolate chips too
4. Non stick spray
5. 7.5″ springform pan is the right size

There are many pancake mixes out there at the store or online. I don’t really have a preference myself but but Bisquick or Krusteaux seems to get pretty fluffy. One thing you must remember is to check the expiration date on your bag or box. If it is expired it will probably not rise and be quite flat. Just buy new if you’ve had it around a while.

You could use our homemade waffles recipe for batter as an alternative. OR I have made banana pancakes starting from scratch that turns out pretty amazing if you have some fruit to use up.

Another thing to keep in mind is that you should measure properly by spooning it into the measuring cup vs. scooping out. If you scoop you’ll likely have too much powdery mix and not enough liquid. That will lead to dense flatter cakes.

FAQ

Then you’ll need a pan that will fit inside your air fryer basket. Most will hold a 7″ springform including my Foodi and Cosori. Instant Pot pancakes use an egg mold to make them into circular bites.

You could incorporate half of a diced up naner if you wanted to also. Here are some quick step by step directions. I also have a printable card at the bottom of this post that will help too.

How to Make Air Fryer Pancakes

• Preheat air fryer so it is hot the entire cook time. In a bowl mix together pancake batter until smooth. Add mini chocolate chips at this time if you desire.
• Lightly spray a springform pan or a shallow ramekin would work, pour in batter
• Place pan inside air fryer basket and close drawer. Air fry until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean to be fully cooked.
• Use spatula to remove pancake from bottom pan piece. Serve your light and fluffy cakes with syrup.

Mixes will vary slightly as far as cook times go. If you use a slightly smaller pan it will take longer too since the batter will be thicker. Just use a toothpick to ensure it is not wet in the center before taking out.

What to eat pancakes with

The possibilities are really endless. I mean some people just like melted butter on the top with some pressure cooker jam.

• Honey is another option
• Fresh berries or bananas are great especially during the summertime
• You could opt for sundae toppings like chocolate and/or caramel
• Make smaller ones and put eggs and air fryer bacon inside like a sandwich

Serve them with Bisquick muffins too. If you have a large crowd of people during the holidays you might want to try a bigger batch all baked at the same time. Our German pancakes in the oven works well for a crowd. Let us know if you combine any other options.
