Ingredients Needed

• Flour: All-purpose flour for light, fluffy pancake batter texture
• Milk: Milk for creamy, smooth pancake consistency and richness
• Eggs: Large eggs to bind ingredients and add structure
• Blueberries: Fresh or frozen blueberries for juicy, sweet bursts
• Butter: Unsalted butter for richness and golden, tender edges
• Optional Toppings: Powdered sugar or maple syrup for extra sweetness

How To Make Air Fryer Blueberry Dutch Baby Pancakes

Step One: Use a blender or a magic bullet and blend the flour, egg, and milk until smooth.

Step Two: Then add your butter to the skillet.

Step Three: Place the skillet into the air fryer temperature to 400 degrees F (air fryer setting), just long enough for the butter to melt.

Step Four: Then pour your batter into the greased skillet.

Step Five: Set back into the air fryer at 350 degrees F (air fryer setting) fand set cook time for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, add your blueberries and air fry for another 3-4 minutes. You want the berries to burst open.

Air Fryer Blueberry Dutch Baby Pancakes Recipe Tips

• Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: Fresh blueberries give the best flavor, but frozen work too—just don’t thaw completely to avoid turning the batter blue.
• Preheat the Air Fryer: Ensures even cooking and a nicely puffed Dutch baby.
• Grease the Skillet Well: Butter or non-stick spray prevents sticking and helps create golden edges.
• Don’t Overmix the Batter: Blend until just smooth; overmixing can make the pancake dense.
• Watch Cooking Time: Air fryer models vary—start checking a minute or two early to avoid overcooking.

Storing Instructions

• Room Temperature: Best enjoyed fresh. If needed, store loosely covered for up to 1 day.
• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer or microwave.
• Freezer: Not recommended, as texture may change and become less fluffy after thawing.

Air Fryer Blueberry Dutch Baby Pancakes Recipe Faqs

Can I use frozen blueberries? Yes! Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer. Don’t thaw completely to prevent the batter from turning blue.

Can I use other fruits instead of blueberries? Absolutely! Raspberries, chopped strawberries, or blackberries all work well. Just adjust cooking time slightly if needed.

Do I have to use a skillet? A small oven-safe or air fryer-safe skillet works best to get the puffed edges. Silicone or metal pans designed for air fryers can also be used.

How do I know when it’s done? The Dutch baby is ready when it’s puffed, golden, and set in the center. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.

Can I make this ahead of time? It’s best served fresh. If needed, store in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat gently in the air fryer or microwave.

Can I make this gluten-free or dairy-free? Yes! Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend and use plant-based milk and butter alternatives for a dairy-free version.

Can I double the recipe? Yes, but cook in batches or use a larger air fryer skillet. Overcrowding may prevent the Dutch baby from puffing properly.
