Making air fryer frozen waffles is a great alternative to the toaster, plus it's easy to cook many waffles in the air fryer at the same time! Now you can serve multiple people waffles at the same time in just a few minutes.
Frozen Waffles in Air Fryer
Waffles, waffles, who seriously doesn't adore waffles? While sometimes making fresh ones are fun to do, for a busy morning being able to make air fryer waffles from frozen is even better.
With my college age son studying from home this year, we have been air frying A LOT! Cooking foods from frozen is seriously the BEST, and making frozen waffles in air fryer are no exception.
We used the Trader Joes blueberry waffles for our air fryer frozen waffles experiment, any favorite grocery store brand of yours will work just fine. We tested just the standard size waffles, and not the larger Belgium waffle size. If you're trying to make air fryer Eggo waffles, those would be the exact same process!
Whether you're serving up air fryer frozen waffles as the only item on the breakfast menu or adding a side of air fryer breakfast sausage, bacon in the air fryer, air fryer frozen hash brown patties, or air fryer boiled eggs, getting breakfast on the table doesn't get any easier when everyone wants a heated breakfast.

Air Fryer Waffle Cooking Time
Air fry the waffles for a total of 2-4 minutes, or until your preferred degree of doneness. While we typically flip the food halfway through cooking, air fryer waffles are such a quick-cooking item, it wasn't necessary since the air flow circulates to both sides.
Serve the frozen waffle in air fryer warm with butter, maple syrup, blueberries, whipping cream, or any of your favorite waffle toppings. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips

- If you're cooking the larger Belgium-style waffles you may need to add an extra minute or two to the cooking time.
- Cooking air fryer Eggo waffles would be the same process that we used for the Trader Joes blueberry waffles.
- Preheating the air fryer oven before you start cooking will help with consistent cooking and recipe results.
