Pro Tips

To ensure your Air Fryer Cinnamon Sugar English Muffins turn out perfectly, here are some pro tips:

  • Use Room Temperature Butter: Softened butter is easier to spread evenly across the muffins. Allow the butter to come to room temperature before using it in this recipe.
  • Evenly Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Cover the buttered muffins with the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly. This will ensure that every bite is sweet and aromatic.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheating your air fryer is essential for consistent cooking. It helps the muffins cook more evenly and reduces the risk of burning.
  • Watch Carefully: Keep a close eye on the muffins as they cook in the air fryer. Cooking times can vary depending on the model and size of your air fryer, so it’s important not to overcook or burn them.
  • Adjust Cooking Time: If you prefer your muffins on the softer side with just a hint of crispness, reduce the cooking time slightly. Conversely, you can extend the cooking time by a minute or two if you want extra crispy.
  • Serve Warm: These cinnamon sugar English muffins are best enjoyed fresh out of the air fryer when they’re warm and at their crispiest. Serve them immediately for the best taste and texture.
  • Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with toppings. You can drizzle a simple glaze of powdered sugar and milk on top for added sweetness or add a sprinkle of chopped nuts for crunch and flavor.

With these tips, your Air Fryer Cinnamon Sugar English Muffins will be a delightful treat you’ll want to make repeatedly. Enjoy the warm, aromatic, and crispy goodness!
