How to make muffins in the air fryer
Ingredients
60ml vegetable oil
75g natural yogurt
One egg
Two tbsp milk
100g golden caster sugar
150g self-raising flour
A quarter tsp bicarbonate of soda
75g blueberries, chocolate chips or dried fruit
Method
Give the air fryer a two-minute preheat at 160C. Grab a large mixing bowl, chuck in the oil, yoghurt, egg, and milk, and whisk until incorporated.
Slowly add in the sugar, flour, and bicarbonate of soda, giving it a good mix until you have a super smooth batter. Now for the fun part – toss in your choice of blueberries, chocolate chips, or some fruity bits. Fold these in gently.
Spoon the mix into silicone muffin cases or a paper-lined muffin tray, filling them to three-quarters full to give those muffins room to puff up.
You ought to get about six to eight muffins ready to go, though if your air fryer basket is on the snug side, you might have to bake them in batches.
Bake in the air fryer for approximately 12 to 15 minutes, or until the muffins develop a golden-brown exterior and a skewer inserted into the centre emerges clean.
