Pro Tips:
- These can be made in any air fryer, including the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex, GoWise, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, and even the Mealthy Lid. The temperature will remain the same, but the time will vary by a few minutes.
- If you notice that the top is cooked, but the middle is raw, rap the cupcakes in foil, to prevent the top from burning. Or reduce the temperature to 300 degrees F, air fryer sitting, and continue to cook until the cupcakes are fully cooked.
- You will need to cook the Air Fryer Black Forest Cupcakes in batches unless you have an air fryer oven, which is larger.
Can You Make Muffins In The Air Fryer?
Yes, anything that you make in an oven, you can easily make in the air fryer, which includes cakes, muffins, and even cupcakes!
All you really need is the right pan, and you can have a great Air Fryer Breakfast, Dessert, Snack or Treat, in minutes!
How To Store Air Fryer Cupcakes:
The best way to store any leftover cupcake or baked good is to really wrap it tightly with plastic or saran wrap. This way, the air will not dry them out.
You can also place the leftover Air Fryer Black Forest Cupcakes into a freezer bag and keep them at room temperature for a few days. After that, place the cupcakes into the refrigerator, where they will last for about a week.
How To Freeze Air Fryer Cupcakes:
This batch of Air Fryer Black Forest Cupcakes makes for a great freezer-friendly dessert recipe.
For best results, let the cupcakes cool to room temperature, remove them from the ramekins, and place them into a freezer bag or freezer-safe container. Place them into the freezer, whether they should last for about 1 to 2 months.
To use from frozen, place them overnight into the refrigerator. You can either reheat in the microwave or the Air Fryer.
What Ramekins To Use In The Air Fryer
You can use any size ramekins that you have on hand, and the cooking time and temperature will not change.
