How To Store Air Fryer Sausage McGriddle Breakfast Sandwich (McDonald’s Keto Copycat Recipe)
If you want to make a batch of the keto and low-carb bread ahead of time, be ready for the weekend, or when the urge strikes you, to eat your keto McGriddle, you can easily store these or even freeze them.
Let the bread cool to room temperature and then place into an airtight container, set in the refrigerator, and they will last for 2 to 3 days. Any longer than that, you should wrap them in parchment paper and freeze. They will stay well in the freezer for 2 to 3 months.
How To Reheat:
These make for really great sandwiches that you can reheat throughout the week. I love to make a batch on Sunday and then have them as the week progresses. I think meal planning is a great way to stick to our diet program.
To reheat the McGriddle, you can add them to the air fryer basket and set the temperature to 350 degrees F, air fry sitting for 3 to 5 minutes, or until warmed through.

Don’t Forget To Pin:
Why almond flour? All I keep on hand is AP flour and self-rising flour. Would either of these work?
This is a Keto Recipe, so we use almond flour. You can easily substitute out the flour for all-purpose.
