Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (tossed in a teaspoon of flour)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prep the Air Fryer and Liners

    Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 3 minutes. Place silicone muffin liners or double-layered paper liners on your work surface. If using paper liners, it is best to place them inside silicone cups or small ramekins to help them hold their shape in the air fryer.

  2. Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Ensure there are no large lumps so the muffins rise evenly.

  3. Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients

    In a separate small bowl, beat the egg lightly. Whisk in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

  4. Step 4: Create the Batter

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough. Gently fold in the blueberries.

  5. Step 5: Fill the Muffin Cups

    Divide the batter evenly among the 6 prepared muffin liners. They should be about 3/4 full. This allows enough room for the muffins to rise without overflowing.

  6. Step 6: Air Fry the Muffins

    Place the muffin cups into the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other so the air can circulate. Cook at 320°F (160°C) for 12 to 15 minutes. Check them at the 12-minute mark with a toothpick; it should come out clean when inserted into the center.

  7. Step 7: Cool and Serve

    Carefully remove the muffins from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes before eating. This helps the structure set and makes the liners easier to remove.
