How To Make Air Fryer Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal Muffins

Step One: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, milk, maple syrup, olive oil (or vegetable oil), brown sugar, eggs, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and the batter is smooth.

Step Two: Spray your muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray or lightly coat with olive oil. Pour the muffin batter into each cup about three-quarters full, then sprinkle sparkling sugar on top for a lightly sweet, crunchy finish.

Step Three: Place the filled muffin tin in the air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 320°F (160°C) and cook for 12–15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Air Fryer Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal Muffins Recipe Tips

• Use old-fashioned oats: They hold texture and provide hearty chewiness.
• Don’t overmix: Overmixing can make muffins dense instead of soft and fluffy.
• Check air fryer settings: Cooking times may vary depending on your model, so watch the first batch closely.
• Fill muffin cups properly: About three-quarters full ensures even rising without spilling over.
• Optional topping: Sprinkle sparkling sugar or chopped nuts on top for extra texture and flavor.

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.
