How To Make Air Fryer Cinnamon Sugar Donut Muffins

In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, egg, milk, and melted butter.

Spray your muffin tins with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray. Pour your batter into the muffin cavity about 2/3 way full. Set the muffin pan into the air fryer basket for 12-15 minutes, at 320 degrees F, air fryer setting.

Mix the cinnamon sugar topping ingredients in a small mixing bowl, and then sprinkle on top of the muffins.

Tips For Making The Best Donut Muffins

• Use room temperature ingredients, as they mix better.
• If you do not want to use milk, use buttermilk, sour cream or yogurt.
• Do not overmix, otherwise your donuts will be dense. Once the dough is mixed, stop mixing.
• Spray your muffins tins well.
• Let the muffins cool before removing them.

Some Other Great Toppings:

If you do not want cinnamon sugar as a topping, you can easily change it out for a simple powdered sugar dusting.

Other great topping ideas include: simple powder sugar icing.
