INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 1 medium egg
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

PREPARATIONS:

• Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Begin by preheating your air fryer to 350 degrees F. This ensures that your pancakes cook evenly and achieve that desirable golden-brown exterior.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar. This dry mixture forms the base of your pancake batter.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, medium egg, and melted coconut oil. The combination of milk and egg provides moisture and structure to the pancakes, while the melted coconut oil imparts a subtle richness.
4. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as a few lumps are perfectly fine and contribute to fluffy pancakes.
5. Grease a baking pan with nonstick cooking oil. This step ensures that your pancakes don’t stick to the pan and allows for easy removal.
6. Carefully spoon the pancake batter onto the greased pan, creating rounds of your desired size. The sizzle of the batter hitting the pan is a familiar and comforting sound that signifies the start of a delicious breakfast.
7. Select the “Air Fry” function and adjust the temperature to 350 degrees F. Press the “Start” key, and let the air fryer work its magic.
8. Cook your pancakes for about 13 minutes, working in batches if needed. The exact cooking time may vary based on the size of your pancakes and the specific air fryer model you’re using.
9. Once the pancakes are beautifully golden and cooked through, remove them from the air fryer with care. The aroma of freshly cooked pancakes will fill the air, creating an irresistible sensory experience.
