Description

These fluffy air fryer pancakes are a quick and easy breakfast treat, cooked to golden perfection using an air fryer. Combining classic pancake ingredients with a simple air frying technique, this recipe yields soft, light pancakes with minimal oil and no need for a stovetop griddle.


Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 4 tablespoons sugar

Other

  • Cooking spray (for silicone discs)


Instructions

  1. Whisk Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth and combined.
  2. Add Milk: Pour in the milk and whisk again to blend thoroughly with the eggs.
  3. Mix in Melted Butter: Slowly stream in the melted butter while continuously whisking to incorporate it evenly.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar to the wet mixture.
  5. Whisk Batter: Whisk the mixture until there are only a few small lumps remaining, ensuring the batter isn’t overmixed.
  6. Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract and whisk again until the batter is uniform in consistency.
  7. Prepare Silicone Discs: Spray 4-inch silicone discs with a thin layer of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  8. Fill Discs and Place in Air Fryer: Fill each silicone disc about halfway with batter and set them in your air fryer basket. The number of discs depends on your air fryer size.
  9. Air Fry Pancakes: Cook at 350ºF (175ºC) for 6-8 minutes, or until the pancakes are cooked through and slightly golden on top.
  10. Serve: Remove pancakes from the silicone discs, serve with your favorite toppings, and enjoy your fluffy air fryer pancakes!

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine and help keep pancakes tender.
  • Adjust air frying time based on the thickness of your pancakes and the specific model of your air fryer.
  • Be sure to spray the silicone discs well to prevent sticking and make pancake removal easier.
  • You can customize toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, butter, or powdered sugar.
  • If you don’t have silicone discs, use any heatproof, air fryer-safe pans or molds.
