Air fryers aren’t just for savory dishes! They can be a great tool for making quick and easy sweets, from cookies to cakes to donuts. The air fryer uses hot air to cook food, which gives it a crispy texture without the need for excessive oil, making it a healthier alternative to traditional frying methods. Below are some ideas for sweets you can make in an air fryer
1. Air Fryer Choc Chip Cookies
- Chocolate Chip Cookies: You can easily make chocolate chip cookies in an air fryer. Simply scoop choc chip cookie dough onto a parchment-lined air fryer basket, set the temperature to 350°F (175°C), and cook for about 5-8 minutes depending on the size of your cookies. The result is crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.
2. Air Fryer Cakes and Cupcakes
Cupcakes: Make cupcakes in an air fryer by filling muffin liners halfway with batter. Air fry them at 320°F for about 10 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Mini Cakes: You can make mini cakes by using ramekins or silicone baking cups. Prepare your favorite cake batter, pour it into the cups, and air fry at 320°F for around 10-15 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness.
5. Air Fryer Brownies
- Brownies are another great option for the air fryer. Simply prepare your favorite brownie mix and pour the batter into a small pan that fits your air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, depending on thickness. The result is a chewy, fudgy treat.
6. Air Fryer S’mores
- For a quick and easy treat, you can make air fryer s’mores. Simply layer a cracker, a piece of chocolate, and a marshmallow, then top with another cracker. Air fry at 350°F for about 3 minutes until the marshmallow is soft and toasted.
