Can I Use Ramekins In Air Fryer

I love to make mug cakes inside small ramekins. If you make 2-3 mug cakes at a time, you can always save them for another day.

It’s the perfect portion size and doesn’t require many dishes! Depending on the size of the ramekin, it needs to be cooked longer or shorter, so remember to check on your Air Fryer Chocolate Protein Mug Cake frequently while it cooks up!

Storing Leftovers:

If you want to double this batch for one for today and one for tomorrow, that will work well. Remember, these are best when served right out of the air fryer. But if you have any leftovers, let the protein mug cake cool to room temperature and then place it into an airtight container.

Placed into the refrigerator, it will last for 1 to 2 days. You can reheat it in the microwave or the air fryer, heating it until warm.
