Pancakes are a breakfast staple that you can enjoy any time of the day. The Air Fryer Blueberry Dutch Baby Pancake recipe I am sharing with you today is not only delicious but also incredibly easy to make. If you’re looking for an easy pancake recipe for your next brunch, this one’s for you!
The ingredients are simple: milk, eggs, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. There are blueberries (fresh or frozen), butter, and maple syrup on hand for the topping. And if it’s still cold outside where you live, like in my city Philadelphia during wintertime? Instead of maple syrup, you can put some honey to keep things warm inside!
If you have never made pancakes in the Air Fryer, this is a great place to start, and it’s incredible! This recipe will work in either an Air Fryer Basket or Oven Model and work in the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, and even the Mealthy Lid! It’s amazingly easy!

What Is A Dutch Baby?
A Dutch baby is a type of pancake made with leavened batter and baked in the oven. It’s typically large, puffy, and has a light texture. It can be served plain or topped with fruit, whipped cream, powdered sugar, or ice cream.
It’s a great breakfast option and cooks up well in the Air Fryer!
Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Blueberry Dutch Baby Pancakes
- All-Purpose Flour
- Milk
- Eggs
- Fresh or Frozen Blueberries
- Butter
- Optional Toppings: Maple Syrup or Powdered Sugar
How To Make Air Fryer Blueberry Dutch Baby Pancakes
Use a blender or a magic bullet and blend the flour, egg, and milk until smooth.
Then add your butter to the skillet. Place the skillet into the air fryer at 400 degrees F (air fryer setting), just long enough for the butter to melt.
Then pour your batter into the greased skillet. Set back into the air fryer at 350 degrees F (air fryer setting) for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, add your blueberries and air fry for another 3-4 minutes. You want the berries to burst open.
Pro Tips:
- In this recipe, we recommend blending the batter for a smoother and more consistent result. The blender will ensure all ingredients are mixed well without any lumps of flour left in your cupboard or on top when you pour it into pans!
- Heat the pan in the Air Fryer. This way, your pancake will rise. There is nothing better than a pan waiting for you for a traditional Dutch Baby.
- Observe the Dutch Baby. Air fryers cook differently from model to model, and there will also be variance depending on the pan you use.
- A good tip for making sure your dutch baby doesn’t burn is checking its texture: when cooked all way through but still soft in some areas suggests undercooking, as well; if any edges are brown before others, those could mean overcooking, so watch closely!
- For best results start with room temperaure ingredients.
Dutch Baby Toppings:
This is a great recipe, and you can create a breakfast bar with all of your favorite toppings. I love serving this on Holidays, and it makes for an excellent Thanksgiving Or Christmas Treat. Some of my favorite toppings are:
- Maple Syrup
- Fresh Berries
- Powdered Sugar
- Slices of Avacado
- Salsa and Fried Egg
- Strips of Ham, Almonds, and some Manchego Cheese
PAN USED IN TODAY’S RECIPE:
I found that this cast-iron pan worked wonderfully in the Air Fryer and fit most of my Air Fryer Basket Models.
