Ingredients Needed
- All-Purpose Flour: You can use all-purpose gluten-free flour if you want a batch of gluten-free air fryer strawberry muffins!
- Baking Powder: Make sure your baking powder is fresh!
- Salt: Adds some flavor to the muffins.
- Butter: Use room temperature and unsalted butter. If you only have salted butter, you can omit the salt from the recipe.
- Granulated Sugar: Use white granulated sugar. If you want a sweeter recipe, you can use brown sugar.
- Eggs: Use large, room-temperature eggs.
- Extracts: I used bother almond extract and vanilla extract, enhancing the strawberry muffins’ flavor!

- Strawberries: Use freshly sliced strawberries.
How To Make Air Fryer Strawberry Muffins
Step One: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar, then fold in the almond extract and vanilla extract.
Step Two: Next, fold in the eggs and milk, stirring until the batter is smooth and fully combined. Grease your muffin tins with melted unsalted butter or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Step Three: Gently fold the strawberries into the batter. Spoon about three tablespoons of batter into each muffin cup, place the tin in the air fryer basket, and cook at 320°F for 12–15 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden.
Air Fryer Strawberry Muffins Recipe Tips
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries: They give the best flavor and sweetness.
- Fold gently: Stir strawberries into the batter carefully to avoid crushing them.
- Check your air fryer: Cooking times may vary depending on your model, so monitor the first batch closely.
- Single layer only: Arrange muffins with space between them for even air circulation and browning.
- Optional toppings: Sprinkle sugar on top before cooking or drizzle glaze after for extra sweetness.
Storing Instructions
- Room Temperature: Store cooled muffins in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Refrigerator: Keep muffins in an airtight container for up to 5 days; warm slightly before serving.
- Freezing: Wrap muffins individually in plastic wrap or foil, then place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature or microwave briefly before eating.
Oven Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line or grease a muffin tin. Bake the muffins for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Air Fryer Strawberry Muffins Recipe Faqs
Can I use frozen strawberries? Yes, but thaw and drain them first to avoid extra moisture in the batter.
How do I know when muffins are done? A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Can I add flavors or toppings? Cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, or a simple glaze all work great.
