Why I Love Air Fryer Muffins
If you haven't started baking in your air fryer... WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING?! Air fryers can be used for way more things than just chicken tenders (but my cheez it chicken tender recipe IS bomb!) like these delicious, fluffy air fryer muffins!
PS. If you need other air fryer baking recipes checkout these air fryer brownies... SO GOOD! Honestly, they're my preferred way to bake brownies!
The best part about this air fryer muffin recipe is that you can make them 3 different ways:
- fruit filled: try blueberries, diced strawberry or even use dried fruit like cherries!
- veggie packed: shredded carrot or zucchini are personal faves of mine!
- chocolate chip: try milk chocolate or any type of chip like butterscotch, white chocolate or peanut butter chips!
And when I say these things are fluffy... they're FLUFFY! So soft and delicious. I'd say they rival the corner bakery! Strong statement but I stand by it!
These air fryer muffins are fool proof and cook in just 12 minutes.. SCORE!

Recipe FAQs
Yes you can! You just want to WHAT FRUITS AND VEGGIES WORK BEST FOR A MIX-IN? If your fruit or veggies have extra moisture this will effect your muffin batter making them less fluffy!
Yes! Same thing as with using frozen fruit or veggies, just WHAT FRUITS AND VEGGIES WORK BEST FOR A MIX-IN?
You can as long as it fits into the air fryer! However, I find that it's much easier for muffins to use silicone muffin liners. They stand up well and it allows you to fit more muffins into your air fryer.
You can, but they may not hold their shape if they are not in a muffin tin. I recommend silicone muffin liners. Silicone ones hold their shape so you don't need a muffin tin. Plus, they're reusable!
Expert Tips
- Feel free to make a few types of muffins from one batch of air fryer muffin batter! You can easily split your batter into 3 bowls and make fruit, veggie AND chocolate ones! Just add ~2-3 tbsp of mix-ins into each bowl!

Instructions

Notes
Recommendations for fruit: blueberries, raspberries, diced strawberries, dried fruit, canned fruit (drained & patted dry)
Recommendations for veggies: shredded carrot or zucchini
Recommendations for baking chips: milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, peanut butter chips
I do not recommend using mashed banana or applesauce for the fruit, as this will be too moist and alter the batter.
