Okay, so I was going through my freezer the other day, and I found a pack of frozen pancakes I totally forgot about. I was like, “Score!” I love pancakes, but sometimes making them from scratch is just too much work, you know? So, I decided to try reheating these bad boys in my trusty air fryer.
First things first, I preheated the air fryer. I set it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 175 degrees Celsius for my friends across the pond. I let it warm up for like, 5 minutes, just to make sure it was nice and toasty.
Getting Started
- Preheat air fryer to 350F (175C)
- Wait for around 5 minutes
While the air fryer was doing its thing, I grabbed the frozen pancakes. They were solid as a rock, obviously. I didn’t want to stack them in the air fryer, though. I figured that wouldn’t be good for even heating. So, I laid them out in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they weren’t overlapping too much.

Once the air fryer was preheated, I popped the basket in. Now, I wasn’t sure exactly how long to cook them for, but I started with 4 minutes. I figured I could always add more time if needed. I set a timer and went to do something else real quick.
Cooking Process
- Place frozen pancakes in the air fryer basket in a single layer
- Air fry for 4 minutes initially
- Check for doneness
After the 4 minutes were up, I checked on the pancakes. They were definitely thawed, but not quite hot enough for my liking. So, I flipped them over and cooked them for another 3 minutes. You could probably do 2, but I like mine a little crispy on the edges.
Ding! Timer went off again. I pulled out the basket, and voila! Perfectly reheated pancakes. They were warm all the way through, fluffy on the inside, and had a nice little crispness to the edges, just how I like them.
Result
- Flip pancakes after initial cooking time
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes
- Enjoy perfectly reheated pancakes
I topped them with some butter and syrup, and it was like they were freshly made. Seriously, you couldn’t even tell they were frozen before. It was so quick and easy, too. I’m definitely doing this again next time I have a pancake craving but don’t feel like making a whole mess in the kitchen. Reheating frozen pancakes in the air fryer is a total win in my book!
