Air fryer frozen waffles are the best and easiest way to make waffles, so grab your favorite waffles and enjoy a quick, delicious breakfast! Crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside, the air fryer is the best way to make perfectly cooked waffles!
Air fryers are the new toaster when it comes to waffles!
I still remember the “Leggo my Eggo” commercials from back in the day. As a kid who saw frozen waffles as a special treat, I often found myself thinking about that at breakfast.
Even today, frozen waffles are a quick and easy option for people on the go in the morning. With an air fryer, you can pop them in, make your coffee, and grab the syrup just in time for the timer to ring.

Needless to say, if you’re in a hurry or have kids, it’s an easy way to get everyone moving in the morning with whatever kind of waffles you prefer.

It’s as easy as it sounds. The only thing you’ll need is an air fryer, a few minutes, and an appetite!.

Top with anything! I love fruit, syrup, nuts or nut butters, powdered sugar, hemp hearts, jam, pie filling, etc. Enjoy!
💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes
- Use frozen waffles. This recipe is specifically designed for frozen waffles, not thawed or fresh batter.
- The more you make, the faster they cook. Take advantage of the fully heated air fryer. Additional batches will take less time.
- Don’t overload the basket. If the waffles go into the air fryer overlapping, they won’t get crispy. Make sure they are in a single, even layer.
🥡 Storing & Reheating
It’s so quick to make these, you really should only make what you’re going to eat. If you’ve overestimated, though, they’ll keep in the fridge in an airtight container or wrapped in foil for up to 3 days.
I don’t recommend re-freezing these as it will negatively affect the texture.
Reheating
Reheat in the air fryer at 400℉ (205℃) or the toaster for a few minutes until hot. Be aware that reheating a second time could dry out the waffles.
