Ingredients

Not only are toaster strudels in air fryer an incredibly fast breakfast option, but they will transport you back to childhood. Don’t wait any longer - I'll show you everything you need to know about making Toaster Strudel in an air fryer below.

What you Need

  • Blueberry Toaster Strudel - or any flavor you like, I used blueberry though.
  • Any air fryer - below I have links to three different sizes for small, medium, and large families.

Pillsbury blueberry toaster strudels, icing, and blueberries.

Full ingredient amounts and preparation instructions are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

How to Make Blueberry Toaster Strudel

Let's learn how to air fry toaster strudel, as air fryer directions are not on the packaging! Since an air fryer is quite different (it's a high powered mini convection oven) than your conventional oven or microwave, here are my tips for perfect air fryer toaster strudel every time, any flavor!

Prepare the Toaster Strudel

  1. Set the air fryer to 350 F. Spritz the air fryer basket with some non stick spray, or use a small piece of parchment paper, just in case the toaster strudel filling leaks during air frying. Set the icing packets aside for later.

  2. Lay the Pillsbury toaster strudel in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If using a large slide out tray air fryer, you can fill each tray in a single layer also.

Air Fry Until Golden Brown

  1. Slice the air fryer basket or trays into the air fryer. Make sure the temperature is at 350 F, and set the timer for 5 minutes. Check, and if not quite golden brown, air fry from an additional 2 minutes. You don't have to flip the toaster strudel but you can if they are not browning evenly.

  2. Remove the air fryer basket or slide out trays. Using tongs, fork, or small pancake flipper, transfer the toaster strudels to a serving plate.

  3. While still hot, snip the end off the icing packets and drizzle on a golden brown, hot toaster strudels.

Serving Suggestions

Air fryer toaster strudel are a perfect special morning breakfast. My kids used to sneak them in the grocery cart when I let them shop with me. They were a perfect Saturday morning reward to completing a week of school homework on time!

Serve with our Summer Berry Salad, Tropical Fruit Salad, or any fresh fruit you have on hand.

Substitutions & Variations

Use these instructions to air fry toaster strudel of any kind. Some grocery stores even have their own brand now also. Just check them at 5 minutes, extending the air fry time if needed.

How to Jazz Up Air Fryer Toaster Strudels

  • Peanut Butter & Blueberry Toaster Strudel - My daughters loved spreading creamy peanut butter on top of a hot blueberry toaster strudel, then drizzling the icing on. She said it was an PB&J on steroids.

  • Banana & Strawberry Toaster Strudel - Slice a fresh banana on top of an iced strawberry toaster strudel for a great taste!

  • Chocolate Toaster Strudel - Another favorite is to spread Nutella for a chocolate toaster strudel. This is especially yummy on the Cinnamon Roll toaster strudels, making them taste a little like Churros!

Equipment

Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Below are some of my favorite pieces of equipment that I use when making Pillsbury air fryer toaster strudel.

  • Nuwave Brio Air Fryer - Rotisserie - Grill - This 15 quart countertop Smart Oven has three slide in trays, that all can be used at the same time. You can air fry rotisserie chickens, an SO mush more!
  • Nuwave Air Fryer 15 quart - This large family size basket air fryer has room to air fry enough for a large family!
  • Gourmia Digital Air Fryer 6 quart - This basket style air fryer will handle four frozen waffles in the air fryer.
  • Ninja Foodie Pro Air Fryer - Folds up out of the way on your counter.
  • Nuwave Air Fryer 3 quart - This compact basket air fryer is perfect for singles or a small family of 2 or 3. You can air fry two frozen waffles in 4 minutes.
  • Oil Sprayer - This is a perfect sprayer for spritzing a light coating of oil on vegetables, meats, and other prepared frozen foods before air frying. The tiny amount of oil ensures you get as amazing results as deep frying and roasting, with a fraction of the calories and splatter!

Storage

Air fry only as many toaster strudel as you need, but you can refrigerate any that are leftover from breakfast. Put them in a small baggie. Reheat them wrapped loosely in foil so that the icing does not stick. Reheat for about 5 minutes on 250 F.

Tips for Success

  • Use parchment paper or a spritz of non stick cooking spray for an easy wipe clean up.
  • Set the icing packets on the counter to soften to room temperature before squeezing on the hot toaster strudels.
  • Check toaster strudels in air fryer after 5 minutes. Depending on your air fryer you may need up to 2 additional minutes of air frying.
