How to make air fryer pancake bites

In this recipe i used frozen Eggo stuffed chocolate pancake bites. You can use any that you like, there are plenty on the market. Open the package of frozen bites and dump desired amount in to the air fryer basket. There is no need of oil or oil spray.

Optionally sprinkle pancake bites with some cinnamon for extra taste and start the air fryer. Bake for 5 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. No need to flip them or shake the basket. Just set it and forget it.

Once done, remove bites to the serving plate and let cool for about 5 minutes. Otherwise you will burn your mouth and tongue with hot melted chocolate.

To compete the meal add sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or blackberries. I don't like to add any more sweeteners like maple syrup because pancake bites are already pretty sweet.

Enjoy pancake bites while they are warm for best taste and while chocolate is melted. Reheat in the air fryer more 1 minute.

How to make homemade pancake bites

Its easy to cook your own pancake bites in air fryer, not store bought. You will need an egg mold to make this recipe.

Mix together 1 cup of pancake mix and 1 cup of water. Spray egg bites mold with olive oil or avocado oil spray and pour about ⅓ of batter in each mold. Drop a little piece of chocolate on top of each mold and cover with remaining batter.

Make sure that he mold is full only for ⅔. The batter will expand while cooking and you want to make sure there is space for it. Bake for 5 minutes at 330 degrees. Enjoy! You can substitute milk chocolate to white chocolate or keep it plain.

Recipe notes and tips

• Do not thaw bites before air frying.
• Do not overcrowd the basket. You need enough air to circulate between pancake bites to properly cook them.
• Use any pancake bites, stuffed with chocolate, strawberry or plain.
• There is no need to add oil to the basket. Pancake bites will not stick.
• Keep frozen pancake bites in the freezer until expiration date.
• Serving size is about 5 pancake bites

Leftovers

Air fryer pancake bites can be stored on the counter at room temperature for about a week. You can keep them in the fridge too, that way they will stay fresh longer. Warm up to make the chocolate nice and melted again in the air fryer. 1 minute will be enough.

The best way to store them would be probably zip lock bags. This way bites will not dry out and will stay fresh longer. Plus you can always grab the bag anywhere with you and have an easy snack anywhere you go. Or just leave it in the car (as long as its not 100 degrees outside) for an easy on the way bite.
