3. Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions & Crisping Secrets
The key to making these pancake bites is to not overcrowd the skillet or air fryer basket.
Cook them in batches if necessary, and make sure to not overmix the batter.
This will help them cook evenly and give them a crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
For a crispy exterior, I like to cook them in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes, shaking halfway through.

Step-by-Step Culinary Timeline
1. Preheat your skillet or air fryer to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, granulated sweetener, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Fold in sliced strawberries.
2. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter into the preheated skillet or air fryer basket. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
3. Flip the pancake bites and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until they're cooked through and the other side is golden brown.
4. Serve the pancake bites warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as whipped cream, maple syrup, or fresh strawberries.
Meal-Prep Storage & Crispy Air-Fryer Reheating Guide
• Cool Before Sealing: Let cooked portions cool for 10 minutes before sealing in glass containers so steam never softens the crust (keeps 4 days in the fridge).
• Sauce on the Side: Store dips, drizzles, and fresh herbs separately until right before serving.
• 3-Minute Crispy Reheat: Reheat in a 380°F (193°C) air fryer or dry cast-iron skillet for 3–4 minutes to restore shatteringly crisp edges.
