How To Make Air Fryer Berry Cream Muffins
Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until fully combined.
Step 2: Add the eggs, sour cream, oil, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Gently mix until the batter is just combined.
Step 3: Carefully fold in the berries, being careful not to crush them.
Step 4: Lightly spray muffin tins or silicone liners with cooking spray. Fill each cavity about 2/3 full with batter.
Step 5: Place the pan or silicone liners into the air fryer basket. Set air fryer temperature to 320 degrees F and set cook time for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Air Fryer Berry Cream Muffins Recipe Tips
- Use fresh or frozen berries: Frozen berries work, just fold in gently to prevent excess juice.
- Don’t overmix: Stir until just combined to keep muffins light and fluffy.
- Check air fryer size: Make sure your muffin tin or silicone liners fit comfortably for even cooking.
- Spray or line muffin cups: Prevents sticking and makes removing muffins easy.
- Optional topping: Sprinkle a little sugar or cinnamon on top before air frying for extra sweetness.
- Serve warm: Muffins taste best fresh from the air fryer or slightly cooled.
Storing Instructions
- Room Temperature: Store cooled muffins in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Refrigerator: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days; warm briefly before serving.
- Freezing: Wrap muffins individually in plastic wrap or foil, then place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature or microwave 20–30 seconds before eating.
Baking Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare muffin tins by greasing or lining with paper/silicone liners. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, then let cool slightly before serving.
Air Fryer Berry Cream Muffins Recipe Faqs
Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh? Yes! Fold them in gently without thawing to avoid extra moisture in the batter.
How do I prevent the muffins from sticking? Use silicone muffin cups or line tins with paper liners and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Can I add other mix-ins? Absolutely! Try chocolate chips, nuts, or a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor.
How do I know when they are done? Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin-if it comes out clean, they’re ready.

Can this recipe be cut in half?
Laurie
Sure!
Stephanie
Thanks! What do you usually do about cutting the “1 egg” in half? Would it make a big difference if I used 1 small egg with the rest of ingredients cut in half?
Laurie
I would use one small egg, let me know how it works out, I usually just use an egg. thank you for reading Laurie
