• ¼ Cup of All Purpose Flour - if you want to make this vegan and gluten free use Almond Flour.

• A Pinch of Cayenne Pepper or Crushed Red Pepper Flakes.

• ¼ Cup of WW Shredded Cheddar Cheese

• 1 Teaspoon of crushed BACO's or if you have extra time air fry some Turkey bacon and crumble it to make your own homemade healthy BACO's.

1: Mix together the Jiffy Mix, flour, garlic powder, cayenne pepper and Baco's.

2: Add in the milk and egg and mix to combine.

3: Add the diced onions and jalapeño peppers and mix to combine.

4: Preheat your Air Fryer to 360 Degrees for 5 minutes.

5: Lay Down a piece of parchment paper cut to size or you can use a parchment paper round and place dollops of hush puppy dough onto the paper about the size of a golf ball spaced apart evenly. You can use a spoon for this.

6: Bake in your Air Fryer for about 6 minutes - give them a flip at the 3 minute mark so they get nice and crispy on all sides.

7: Once the Air Frying of the Hush Puppies is completed remove basket from your Air Fryer and let cool for a few minutes. Then carefully remove each Hush Puppy with tongs and place in a nice basket or serving dish.

8: If you like a Sweet Hush Puppy give them a dusting of Powdered Sugar. If you like a Savory Hush Puppy whip up a light Aioli Sauce for Dipping. To make a Weight Watcher Friendly Aioli Sauce Whisk together 5 Tablespoons of Low Fat Buttermilk, 3 Tablespoons of Reduced Calorie Mayonnaise, 1 Garlic Clove minced, ½ Teaspoon of Finely Grated Lemon Zest, 1 Teaspoon of Lemon Juice, ¼ Teaspoon of Salt and ⅛ Teaspoon of freshly ground pepper. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to let the flavors blend and you now have a delicious 1 point dipping sauce for your Air Fryer Hush Puppies Recipe. Serving size is 1 ½ Tablespoon for 1 WW Smartpoint.

9: If you have any leftover Hush Puppies you can refrigerate them for up to 7 days or pop them in the freezer for a later date.

• When baking with a batter in your air fryer also use a sheet of parchment paper in your air fryer basket before adding in your recipe ingredients.
• To help prevent foods from sticking in your air fryer, lightly coat the ingredients with some cooking spray, or a misting oil before or during cooking.
• If you notice your hushpuppy biscuits are not browning or becoming crispy try adding a spritz of olive oil.
• Make sure you do not over crowd your air fryer basket. if 6 biscuits are crowding bake only 4 at a time - you need to leave room for the air to circulate.

Homemade air fryer hushpuppies bake in approximately 6 minutes. Air fry for 3 minutes then flip for an additional 3 minutes.

Yes you can use batter in an air fryer as long as it is a thicker batter and you use a sheet a parchment paper in your air fryer basket for the batter to sit on.

Typically Hush Puppies do not contain Fish or Seafood as an ingredient. But if you are a seafood lover you can absolutely level up your Hush Puppy recipe by adding some diced shrimp or crabmeat to your batter.

Yes you can...and you need to for this simple hushpuppy recipe. Parchment paper is a relatively oven safe paper that’s used most commonly in baking. The paper is treated to make it non stick, plus it can also withstand certain oven temperatures too.

Yes, be careful especially with the Ninja Foodi Air Fryer as this Air Fryer cooks very hot. Do not leave your Air Fryer's unattended while cooking and only use parchment paper in your Air Fryer for quick recipes - under 10 minutes.

I used 2 Air Fryer's for this Homemade Hushpuppy recipe. I used my Ninja Foodi Air Fryer and also my basic GoWise Amazon Air Fryer. Both Air Fryer's worked great.
