Air Fryer muffin baking

To bake your muffins in your Air Fryer, follow these steps:

1. Preheat your Air Fryer to 180°C for a few minutes.
2. Place silicone or paper molds in the appliance basket. You can also use a special Air Fryer mold.
3. Fill each mold 2/3 full with muffin mix.
4. Place the basket in the oven and set the baking time for 15 minutes. Cooking time may vary according to muffin size, so check regularly with the tip of a knife.

Note: If you have an Air Fryer with a dehydration function, don't hesitate to use it to give your muffins an even fluffier, lighter texture.

Recipe variations

Muffins are the perfect base for your culinary creativity. Here are a few ideas for variations to liven up your muffins:

• Dark, milk or white chocolate chips
• Fresh fruit pieces (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc.)
• Crushed walnuts, hazelnuts or almonds
• Lemon, orange or grapefruit zest
• Pieces of caramel or nougatine

Don't hesitate to mix flavours to create original, gourmet muffins!

Tips for successful Air Fryer muffins

Here are a few tips for golden, moist muffins:

• Don't overload the basket of your Air Fryer: leave enough space between each mold to allow the hot air to circulate properly.
• Use silicone or paper molds to facilitate unmolding and prevent the muffins from sticking to the basket.
• Don't over-mix the batter: this can make your muffins more compact and less moist. A quick, light stir is all you need.
• Check your muffins regularly to prevent them from becoming too dry. Remember that every Air Fryer works differently, so it's important to adapt to your particular appliance.

By following these tips and this delicious recipe, you'll get perfectly cooked, tasty muffins from your Air Fryer. So go ahead and enjoy!
