Ingredients Needed

• All-purpose flour: Provides structure and light texture to fluffy muffins
• Baking powder: Helps muffins rise and stay soft and tender
• Baking soda: Supports leavening and gives a gentle rise
• Granulated sugar: Adds sweetness and balances flavors in the muffins
• Buttermilk: Creates moist, tender muffins with subtle tangy flavor
• Butter, melted: Adds richness and enhances flavor throughout the batter
• Pure vanilla extract: Gives warm, aromatic flavor notes to the muffins
• Blueberries: Burst of juicy sweetness and natural fruity flavor

How To Make Air Fryer Blueberry Pancake Muffins

Step One: Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well.

Step Two: Mix in the buttermilk, melted butter, and pure vanilla extract.

Step Three: Fold in the blueberries, mixing well.

Step Four: Spray your muffin tins with cooking spray. Fill the containers about 2/3 the way full, and set them into the air fryer, set air fryer temperature to 320 degrees F, and set cook time for 6-9 minutes.

Air Fryer Blueberry Pancake Muffins Recipe Tips

• Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: Fresh works best for flavor and texture, but frozen blueberries can be used—just don’t thaw completely to avoid turning the batter blue.
• Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, stir until just combined. Overmixing can make muffins tough.
• Air Fryer Basket Prep: Use silicone muffin cups or lightly spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
• Check Early: Air fryer times vary, so start checking for doneness a few minutes before the timer. Muffins are ready when a toothpick comes out clean.
• Optional Toppings: Sprinkle a little sugar or cinnamon on top before air frying for a lightly crisp, sweet crust.

Storing Instructions

• Room Temperature: Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Refrigerator: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave before serving.
• Freezer: Wrap muffins individually in plastic wrap or foil, then place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave straight from frozen.

Air Fryer Blueberry Pancake Muffins Recipe Faqs

Can I use frozen blueberries? Yes! Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer, but don’t thaw them completely to prevent turning the batter blue.

Can I substitute other berries? Absolutely! Raspberries, chopped strawberries, or blackberries all work. Just adjust cooking time slightly if needed.

Do I have to use silicone muffin cups? No, but they make removing muffins easier and prevent sticking. You can lightly grease the air fryer basket if using metal cups.

How do I know when the muffins are done? Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, they’re ready.

Can I make these ahead of time? Yes! Store at room temperature for 2 days, in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze individually for up to 3 months. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave before serving.

Can I make a larger batch? Yes, but cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Overcrowding can result in uneven cooking.

Can I make these gluten-free or dairy-free? Yes! Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend and use non-dairy milk or butter alternatives to make them dairy-free.

Serving Suggestions: If you are looking for something to serve this with, I usually serve it with a big Fresh Fruit bowl. But it goes really well with a big bowl of Air Fryer Shredded Hashbrowns or even Air Fryer Hash Brown Patties.
