Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 fritters
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup fresh peaches, diced
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well blended and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat the large egg and milk together until fully incorporated. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it.
- Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy but fully combined.
- Carefully fold the freshly diced peaches into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of the peach fritter batter into the air fryer basket. Leave space between each fritter to allow for proper air circulation.
- Cook the fritters in batches, air frying for 5-6 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Carefully flip them halfway through cooking for even browning.
- Once cooked, remove the fritters from the air fryer and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly. Optional: dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze while still warm.
- Serve the fritters immediately for the best texture and flavor. They are delicious when enjoyed warm and fresh from the air fryer.
Tips
- Choose ripe, firm peaches for the best texture and flavor. Overripe peaches can make your batter too wet.
- Don't overmix the batter - lumpy is good! Overmixing can lead to tough, chewy fritters.
- Make sure to leave space between fritters in the air fryer basket for even cooking and crispy edges.
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract to the batter.
- Serve immediately for maximum crispiness. These fritters are best enjoyed warm, right after cooking.
- If you want a sweeter finish, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple vanilla glaze while still warm.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend.
