Air Fryer Croissants with Nutella and Chocolate Chips – A Quick and Delicious Treat!

Air Fryer Croissants with Nutella and Chocolate Chips are a simple, delicious pastry that combines flaky croissants with gooey Nutella and melted chocolate chips. A perfect treat in minutes!

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Knife or spoon for spreading Nutella
  • Pastry brush (optional, for butter)
  • Small bowl (for melted butter)
  • Plate for serving

Ingredients
  

  • 4 store-bought croissants preferably plain or buttery
  • 1/4 cup Nutella or hazelnut spread
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted, for brushing
  • Powdered sugar optional, for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Croissants: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Cut each croissant in half lengthwise, creating a "pocket" for the filling.
  • Spread Nutella: Gently spread a generous layer of Nutella inside each croissant half.
  • Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips into the Nutella spread, ensuring an even distribution.
  • Assemble the Croissants: Place the filled croissants back together (top part over the Nutella and chocolate filling). Lightly press the edges to seal.
  • Brush with Butter: Brush the tops of the croissants with melted butter to help them crisp up and develop a golden color.
  • Air Fry: Place the croissants in the air fryer basket, making sure they’re not overcrowded. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  • Serve: Remove from the air fryer and let cool for a minute. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. Serve warm and enjoy!
