These easy frozen waffles in air fryer take minutes to make! It's the best way to get breakfast on the table during a busy morning.

Breakfast foods are probably favorite type of food! There's nothing better than starting your day off on the right foot with a delicious and hot breakfast. Plus, it's even better when your breakfast only takes 7 minutes to make!

Serving these waffles with easy air fryer sausage patties or even frozen hash browns in the air fryer makes for the perfect complete and easy breakfast! An entire breakfast made in the air fryer allows for easy clean up!

I could rave about air fryer recipes forever because the cooking time is so much shorter than an oven, waffle iron, toaster oven, etc. You're also able to cook a lot of food at once depending on the size of your air fryer basket.

With quick recipes like this one, I like to keep everything simple and streamlined. For this waffle breakfast, I normally top the waffles with fresh fruit, peanut butter, whipped cream or simple syrups to keep things easy.

You can also top them with maple syrup. If you don't have it here is a substitute for maple syrup list of 10 options.

Are homemade waffles better than frozen?

In some cases, there's nothing better than a hot homemade waffle. I love making my gluten-free waffles on Saturday or Sunday mornings when I have extra time.

Homemade waffles might taste slightly better than frozen waffles, but frozen waffles are still delicious, take a fraction of the time to make, and have little to no clean up!

Plus, frozen waffles in the air fryer taste even better than in the toaster! The hot air in the air fryer makes them extra crispy for the perfect complete breakfast.
