Making chocolate muffins in air fryer is a great choice because it saves time and energy. The airfryer heats up faster than a traditional oven, meaning your muffins bake quicker while using less electricity. Chocolate muffins in air fryer also bake evenly, giving you a moist centre and slightly crispy edges, which makes each bite irresistible.
Step 1
Prepare the batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sugar and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, mix milk, vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla extract. Combine wet and dry ingredients to create a smooth batter, then fold in chocolate chips.
Step 2
Fill the muffin cases
Spoon the batter into silicone muffin cases, filling them about 2/3 full. These work best in the airfryer and ensure even baking. Avoid using paper liners directly in the basket.
Step 3
Bake in the airfryer
Place the muffin cases in your airfryer basket, leaving space between each. Set the airfryer to 160°C and bake for 12-15 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick — it should come out clean.
Step 4
Cool and enjoy
Let your chocolate muffins in air fryer cool slightly before removing from the cases. Serve warm or allow to cool completely and store in an airtight container.
For best results with chocolate muffins in air fryer, use silicone muffin moulds to keep their shape and prevent sticking. Don’t overcrowd the airfryer basket as the hot air needs to circulate for even cooking. If you like extra gooey centres, try inserting a small square of dark chocolate into the middle of each muffin before baking. Chocolate muffins in air fryer are also perfect for freezing, so you can always have a quick treat ready.
