How To Make Air Fryer Cinnamon Sugar Muffins

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Then mix in the flour, baking powder, salt, egg, and milk, mix well.

Pour the batter into greased muffin tins (or greased silicone muffin cups), filling each cavity about 2/3 way full.

Set into the air fryer for 12-15 minutes at 320 degrees F (air fryer setting). In one bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar, and in another bowl, melt some butter.

Once the muffins are done, dip the muffin into the melted butter and then into the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Sprinkle some sparkling sugar on top.

PRO TIPS FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE

• This recipe will work with all air fryers, including the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex Plus, GoWise, PowerXL, Emeril’s 360, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, and the Mealthy Lid. The recipe will remain the same; the cooking time may vary by a couple of minutes.
• Be sure not to overmix your batter. Otherwise, you will end up with dense muffins.
• To make sure that muffins are done, stick a toothpick into the center of the muffin. When it comes out clean, remove the muffin tray from the air fryer.
• Let them cool slightly before removing them.

How To Store Cinnamon Sugar Muffins

If you have any muffins leftover, let them cool to room temperature and then place them into an airtight container. They will last for 2 to 3 days at room temperature.

If you want to extend the life of the Cinnamon Sugar Muffins, place them into an airtight container and refrigerate them, they will last for about a week.

Can I Freeze Them?

Yes, this is a great recipe that you can make ahead, even make a double batch and freeze one batch. I love having muffins in my freezer, ready for another breakfast.

To freeze, make as directed below, and then let them cool. Wrap the muffins in saran wrap a couple of times and then a couple of times in aluminum foil. Place the wrapped muffins into a freezer bag.

Let will last for about 1 to 2 months. To use, let thaw at room temperature or in the refrigerator overnight.

You can also reheat your muffins in the air fryer or microwave before serving.
