How To Make Air Fryer Peanut Butter & Jelly Streusel English Muffins
Step One: Cut the English muffins in half. In a large bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and old-fashioned oats, mixing until the topping is crumbly.
Step Two: Spread peanut butter over each English muffin half, then add a layer of grape jelly or your favorite jam. Sprinkle the oat-butter-sugar mixture on top, place in the air fryer at 250°F, and cook for 5 minutes until the topping is melted and gooey. Repeat with the remaining muffins.
Air Fryer Peanut Butter & Jelly Streusel English Muffins Recipe Tips
- Choose Your Muffins Wisely: Use fresh, soft English muffins for the best texture and flavor.
- Customize Your Jam: Swap grape jelly for strawberry, raspberry, or any favorite fruit spread.
- Streusel Tweak: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a few chopped nuts to the oat topping for extra flavor.
- Watch the Air Fryer: Check muffins halfway to avoid over-browning, as ovens vary.
- Serve Warm: These muffins are best enjoyed fresh from the air fryer for that gooey, melty perfection.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the streusel mixture in advance to save time in the morning.
- Fun Variations: Try swapping peanut butter for almond or cashew butter for a different nutty twist.
Storing, Freezing and Make Ahead Instructions
- Storing: Let the muffins cool completely, then store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Freezing: Wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap or foil, place in a freezer-safe bag, and freeze for up to 1 month.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the streusel mixture and spread peanut butter and jelly on the muffins in advance, then store in the fridge. When ready, air fry for 5 minutes to warm and melt everything together.
