How To Make Air Fryer Blueberry Muffin Mug Cake
Step One: Mix the flour, sugar, and baking powder in a medium-sized bowl.
Step Two: Pour in the milk and melted butter, and mix well. Fold in the blueberries.
Step Three: Spray your ramekins with cooking spray, then pour the batter into them, filling them about 2/3 the way full. If you are using sparkling sugar, sprinkle some on top. Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket. Set air fryer temperature to 320 degrees F, air fryer setting, and set cook time for 6-8 minutes.
Air Fryer Blueberry Muffin Mug Cake Recipe Tips
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries: Fresh gives a juicy burst, frozen works too—just don’t thaw them.
- Don’t overfill the ramekin: Fill about 2/3 full to prevent overflowing while air frying.
- Adjust cooking time: Air fryer models vary, check at 6 minutes and add more if needed.
- Optional sparkling sugar: Sprinkle on top for a lightly crunchy, sweet finish.
- Serve immediately: Mug cakes are best warm right out of the air fryer.
- Flavor variations: Add lemon zest or cinnamon for a twist on the classic.
Storing Instructions
- Room Temperature: Best enjoyed immediately. Mug cakes tend to dry out if left out too long.
- Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 1–2 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave for 20–30 seconds.
- Freezer: Not recommended for mug cakes, as texture may become dense or soggy after thawing.
Air Fryer Blueberry Muffin Mug Cake Recipe Faqs
Can I use frozen blueberries? Yes! You can use frozen blueberries directly in the batter without thawing. Just expect a slightly moister cake.
Can I make this without an air fryer? Absolutely! Bake in a preheated oven at 320°F for 12–15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Can I make this dairy-free? Substitute the milk with any plant-based milk and use a dairy-free butter alternative.
Can I double the recipe? You can double the ingredients, but cook in separate ramekins and avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
Can I add other mix-ins? Yes! Try chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a dash of cinnamon for flavor variations.
How do I know when it’s done? Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, your mug cake is ready.
