Forget the toaster, make air fryer toaster strudel in minutes for the most delicious breakfast or treat. After making these over the years, I have found the secrets to getting the perfect pastry. Once you try this air fryer method, you can say goodbye to your toaster.

 

I feel like we are usually rushing to get out of the door in the morning. My kids like to sleep in to the very last second before rushing to get ready for school. That’s why quick and easy breakfast options are great!

Lately, they have been loving air fryer toaster strudels for a fast bite before hopping on the bus. They are warm, flakey, crispy, and sweet. I prefer making frozen toaster strudel in the air fryer because I can make 3-4 at one time in under 10 minutes. It’s great because I can feed everyone at once.

There are so many air fryer breakfast recipes, like bagels, eggs, cinnamon rolls, and air fryer turkey bacon.

Why you should make toaster strudel in the air fryer instead of toaster

Texture – Cooking the frozen strudel in the air fryer ensures that you will get a delicious, golden brown pastry. The hot air circulating around the strudel toasts it to flakey texture perfection and warms up the fruit filling.

No burning – Because the air fryer cooks evenly and is more controlled, it is less likely that they will burn.

Number – You can cook 3-4 at a time.

Less mess – Don’t worry about getting pastry crumbs stuck in the toaster. The air fryer is easy to clean.

Ingredients needed

• Box of Pillsbury Toaster Strudel – These can be found in the freezer section of the grocery store. They are available in several different flavors.
• Air fryer – Choose your air fryer of choice. We like our 5.8 quart Cosori air fryer.
