Air Fryer Muffins Tips

Use these tips to help to make muffins in air fryer super easy.

• Use small juicy raspberries which you can add in whole.
• If using large raspberries you might need to cut them in half to avoid ending up with large lumps of soggy berries or muffins.
• You can substitute a few raspberries with strawberries or blackberries if you like.
• If you are worried about berries sinking, then mix them with 1-2 teaspoon of flour to stop them sinking.
• For a more orangy flavoring in your Raspberry Muffins add in 1-2 tablespoons of orange juice.
• Do not over-mix the muffin batter after adding in your flour or else you will end up with really dense muffins.
• Feel free to use melted butter instead of olive oil for a richer flavor.
• Fill the silicon muffin cases only about three-quarters full as the muffins will rise during baking.

How Long T0 Air Fryer Muffins?

Wondering how long to cook muffins in Air Fryer? Cooking times depending on the size of the muffins. Mine took 12 minutes as they were cooked in cupcake sized silicon cases. If you are using bigger cases you would need to add a few more minutes.
When cooking Air Fryer muffins for the first time, I recommend starting with 12 minutes and testing them, cooking for longer if needed.
