Making muffins in air fryer saves both time and energy, and the result is moist, perfectly risen muffins with a golden top. Thanks to the consistent heat circulation in the airfryer, each muffin bakes evenly, which is great for small batches. Muffins in air fryer are especially handy if you’re only making a few at a time or baking in warmer weather when you want to avoid heating up your whole kitchen.
Step 1
Mix the wet ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. This will form the base for your muffin batter.
Step 2
Add the dry ingredients
Sift in plain flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently until the mixture is just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 3
Fold in extras and fill cases
Add any extras such as blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts. Spoon the mixture into muffin cases, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 4
Bake in the airfryer
Place the muffin cases in air fryer basket. Bake at 160°C for 12-15 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let the muffins cool slightly before serving.
When making muffins in air fryer, avoid overfilling the cases, as they need room to rise. Use silicone or foil cases as they hold their shape better in the airfryer basket. Rotate the muffins halfway through baking if your airfryer doesn’t circulate heat evenly. Muffins in air fryer are best eaten fresh, but they also freeze well—just warm them slightly before serving for that just-baked feel. You can also vary the flavours with lemon zest, cinnamon, or mixed berries for a unique twist.
