Why We Love this recipe
Technically we are not creating a recipe when we make air fryer frozen waffles, but there are so many reasons to love this recipe.
- First of all, it is easy to cook waffles in the air fryer!
- Secondly, it is fast, ready in about 4 minutes!
- Third, they cook evenly! We have all been there when we pull our frozen waffle out of the toaster and it is crispy on half of it and soggy on the other. Thankfully thanks to cooking our waffles in the air fryer we can now have perfectly crispy waffles on both sides but yet still leave them nice and soft on the inside!
- Lastly, depending on how big your air fryer is you can cook a lot of frozen waffles at the same time.
