Peach Fritters Air Fryer (Gluten) Recipe
When peaches meet the air fryer, health and deliciousness meet perfectly. The joy of being gluten lets you easily enjoy the food and reward yourself with zero burden.
Why use an air fryer for this recipe?
Less oil, healthier: The air fryer basically doesn’t need much oil, making the peaches not greasy and lighter to eat.
Preserves natural sweetness: It heats gently, keeping the natural flavor of the peaches, making it full of fruit fragrance and the sweetness just right.
Fast and convenient: Using the air fryer to make this snack is super time-saving, no need to worry about the oil temperature being too high, and it’s easy to operate.
Locks in moisture: Low-temperature heating helps retain the peaches' moisture, making them more tender and smooth, with a better texture.
Why choose yellow peaches to make?
Characteristics of yellow peaches: Yellow peaches are a bit sour, so the fritters made with them have a balanced sweet and sour taste, with a richer flavor. When they ripen, the sweetness becomes stronger, and they’re quite appetizing to eat.
Substitute with white peaches: If you prefer a sweeter taste, white peaches would be a good choice. They are softer and their sweetness is more direct.
Actually, the difference is not big: The difference between the two is actually quite small. Both are good choices for making fritters, it mainly depends on which texture you prefer.

Secrets to making air fryer peach fritters
Choosing peaches: Choose ripe yellow peaches or white peaches, which are sweeter and will make the fritters taste better. If the peaches are a little hard, let them ripen, and the texture will be more tender.
Mix evenly: When mixing the peaches and flour, make sure every piece of peach is coated with flour to avoid some parts being too sweet and others bland.
Spray oil lightly: Spray a small amount of oil in the air fryer to prevent sticking and make the surface crispier. Don’t spray too much; a thin layer is enough.
Temperature and time: 150°C (300°F) for 10 minutes is a good start, but different air fryers may have different temperatures. You can check after 5 minutes to see if the surface is crispy.
Mix gently: When mixing the peaches, try to be gentle so they don’t break. Keeping them in chunks will make the fritters have a better texture and be more satisfying to eat.
What to pair with
Coffee or tea: This fritter pairs really well with a cup of hot coffee or refreshing tea, especially for breakfast. It balances the taste, energizes you, and isn’t too greasy.
Ice cream: If you want a sweeter experience, you can pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The smoothness of the ice cream and the crispiness of the fritter really go well together.
Yogurt: Greek yogurt paired with the fritter is a classic choice. The tartness perfectly balances the sweetness of the fritter, and with one bite, it’s both refreshing and satisfying.
Refreshing salad: A simple leafy salad, like lettuce and cucumber, can add a refreshing touch to the fritter, balancing the sweetness with a crisp and fresh taste.
Variations of air fryer peach fritters
Spiced peach fritters: Add a little nutmeg or cardamom to bring a warm spice flavor.
Berry peach fritters: You can mix in blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries to add more fruity flavor.
Savory peach fritters: If you like a savory taste, you can sprinkle some chili flakes or add some fresh herbs. The taste is also good.
Mini peach fritters: Make mini versions of the fritters, perfect for parties or as a snack.
FAQs:
The exact time can be adjusted based on your oven's power. Check the surface of the peaches and fritters; when they turn golden, they’re ready. You can replace the silicone parchment paper in the air fryer with a baking tray, and it’ll be just as easy to make!
For different fruits, you can adjust the sugar amount based on their sweetness. If using fruits with a lot of moisture (like strawberries), you can lightly mash them to avoid too much moisture affecting the texture.
If you want to store them for a longer time, you can freeze them. They can last for about a week in the freezer.
When you're ready to eat, take them out and heat them up a bit. You can use the air fryer or microwave. Reheat for a few minutes, and the texture will be better!
Also, if there’s not enough oil, the surface won’t be crispy. You can spray a bit more oil or brush a thin layer.
The baking temperature and time can also be slightly increased. Try 160°C (320°F) and add a few more minutes until the surface becomes crispy. Adding a little more flour or milk powder can make the outer layer crunchier!
