Looking for some breakfast inspiration? These air fryer Nutella pastries are as easy as they are tasty.
There seems to be no limit to the foods you can cook in an air fryer, with new air fryer TikTok recipes surfacing on social media every day. From one-pot meals to healthy snacks and indulgent treats, there's all sorts to choose from - but something these recipes have in common is they often require little effort and only a handful of ingredients.
That's certainly the case with these air fryer Nutella pastries anyway, which take just eight minutes to make. You only need three ingredients and one of the best air fryers for this recipe too, so it really couldn't be easier. If you fancy treating yourself to a simple but tasty snack, or you're looking for an easy breakfast recipe that will keep the kids happy, we think this recipe is worth a try.

For her air fryer Nutella pastries, she tops ready-made puff pastry with a thick layer of Nutella, before rolling the pastry up and cutting into even slices. After just eight minutes in the air fryer, these three-ingredient snacks come out looking just like something you'd see in a bakery window. Here's how to try it for yourself...

And if you're feeling inspired to invest in an air fryer so you can try out this simple hack - along with plenty of other time-saving recipes - Goodto Food Editor, Jessica Dady, recommends the Lakeland Digital Crisp Air Fryer.
At just £79.99, it's one of the cheaper air fryers on offer, but Jess still gave it 4.5 out of five stars. Plus, its 3L capacity means this particular model won't take up much space on your kitchen counter.
