    Making frozen pancakes in the air fryer is a simple yet quick way to get a great start to your day. While we love making pancakes from scratch, you can't beat the convenience.

    On busy mornings when you've got too many things to do and not enough time to accomplish them, having breakfast cooked in minutes can be the saving grace you need.

    We love to cook frozen breakfast foods in the air fryer, like air fryer frozen waffles and air fryer french toast sticks.

    Why This Recipe Works

    1. The pancakes are already cooked. Technically, we're reheating pancakes in the air fryer because the pancakes are already cooked. This means they're significantly faster to prep than if you were to make pancakes.
    2. They're delicious. You can use any brand or flavor of frozen pancake for this recipe, so please use your favorites. Whether it's buttermilk, chocolate chip, or blueberry, it's sure to be delicious.
    3. It's frugal. Making breakfast at home (even if it is frozen foods) is still far cheaper than stopping at a drive-thru on your way to work. Enjoy your savings and avoid the long lines by enjoying pancakes at home.

    🔪 Instructions

    Check out how to make Air Fryer Frozen Pancakes with these simple step-by-step instructions:

    Gently break a stack of frozen pancakes apart from one another.

    Place 3 frozen pancakes into the air fryer basket without touching them.

    Cook for about 3-5 minutes at 330 degrees F until soft and heated through. I cook mine for 3 minutes, but if you want them crispy, cook for longer.

    Use a pair of tongs to remove the hot pancakes from the air fryer.

    Serve with maple syrup, and enjoy!

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    You do NOT need to thaw the pancakes before use.

    Your pancakes will come out of the air fryer a little more crispy than if you were to use the microwave.

    You will want to lay the pancakes in the air fryer so that there is no overlapping, as that can lead to cold spots.

    You do not need to grease the air fryer basket before use.

    Different air fryers may cook at different speeds, so you may find that your pancakes need an extra minute or shorter cooking time depending on the air fryer you use.

    🥞 Topping Ideas

    You can serve these pancakes with anything from jam to Simple Berry Syrup or maple syrup. Peanut butter and fresh fruits are also tasty ideas!

    👩🏻‍🍳 Storage

    You should only cook enough pancakes to suit your needs as you don't want to go through the effort of storing leftovers. Uncooked pancakes can remain frozen.

    🥗 Side Dishes

    Serve these pancakes with any of your usual breakfast favorites like bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, or hashbrowns.

    💭 FAQs

    Can frozen pancakes be refrozen?

    If you left your frozen pancakes on the counter too long (an hour or so) and find that they have thawed, you can place them back into the freezer. There may be some moisture loss, but they'll be fine to cook and eat later.

    How long are frozen pancakes good for?

    Storebought frozen pancakes can last almost indefinitely if properly stored. That said, I don't recommend keeping them on hand for more than 3-6 months because freezer burn can set in and cause a loss of flavor.

    What to do with frozen pancakes

    You can serve them up in a tall stack with fresh fruit and maple syrup, or you can turn cooked pancakes into a sandwich. My daughter loves to turn them into PBJs, but Im sure eggs, bacon, and cheese would be a delicious idea as well!
