When it comes to eating a twinkie, I usually only indulge in what’s inside of a Twinkie (the creamy vanilla filling). But after air frying a twinkie, it brings its texture to a whole new level. 🙂 The cake batter becomes crispy and crunchy with the beautiful golden brown finish.
Disclaimer: This post is not sponsored in any way or form. I’m only sharing my experience of air frying a twinkie. I was just gifted a box of twinkies for Christmas by one of my kids and I was gifted a brand new Ninja Foodi XL Air fryer. So I thought why not put them together and give it an experiment.
4 Twinkies
Powdered sugar for garnishing (optional)
1. Pre-heat air fryer to 350F/180C for 2 minutes
2. Place twinkies in the air fryer basket or tray bottom side up
3. Air fry mode at 350F for 2 minutes, flipping half-way. In other words air fry a minute each side. For crispier crust and deeper color, air fry for an additional 30 seconds per side or until the desired color.
4. Take out of air fryer. Let cool for a few minutes. They get crisper as they cool off. Enjoy your crispy air fryer twinkie
5. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.

Wow what a great idea. Will definitely try. Thanks
Just tried this. Delicious.
Yum! Glad you enjoyed it.
This is delicious. One of my kids bought a box of Twinkies that nobody has been eating so I thought I’d try something different with them. I did not even add the powdered sugar and it is definitely delicious. It’s light and crispy and moist at the same time. Thanks 😊
We had a box of twinkies sitting around and no one was eating. After I made air fryer twinkies, they were all gone. lol
