Remember the step-by-step directions and detailed ingredient list are below, in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post, as well as the nutritional information.

Blueberry Muffin Mix: Use your favorite mix today. I used Martha White Blueberry Muffin Mix.
Milk: Adds moisture, protein, and richness to the muffins, resulting in a moist and tender crumb.
Ripe bananas: Mashed overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins, creating a tender texture. This is a substitute for vegetable oil.
Rolled oats: Old-fashioned oats provide fiber and texture to the muffins while adding a hearty and wholesome element.
Blueberries: Fresh or frozen blueberries infuse the muffins with juicy flavor and antioxidants, adding a touch of sweetness.
Granulated Sugar: Adds a touch of sweetness to the muffins. You can also use brown sugar.

How To Make Air Fryer Banana Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins

Here are the simple steps to make these banana blueberry muffins in air fryer.

Prepare The Muffin Batter: Combine the Martha White Blueberry Muffin Mix with the milk in a mixing bowl. Stir until just combined. Add blueberries, mashed banana, oats, and granulated sugar to the muffin mix. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Mash the banana until there are only a few lumps left.

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes. Line the air fryer basket with silicone muffin cups or paper liners. Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Sprinkle additional oats on top of each muffin for added texture, if desired. Place the filled muffin cups in the preheated air fryer basket, leaving space between each muffin for air circulation. Bake muffins at 350 degrees F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once cooked, carefully remove the muffins from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Serve with maple syrup, melted butter, or honey.

Enjoy your delicious air fryer banana blueberry oatmeal muffins as a delightful breakfast or snack!

Pro Tips

Here are some pro tips to ensure your healthy oatmeal muffins turn out perfectly:

Use ripe bananas: For the best flavor and sweetness, use ripe bananas with brown spots. They mash easily and provide natural sweetness to the muffins.
Don’t overmix the batter: Overmixing can produce dense muffins. Mix the wet and dry ingredients until combined to ensure tender and fluffy muffins.
Preheat your air fryer: Preheating your air fryer ensures even cooking and helps achieve a golden-brown exterior on the muffins.
Add oats for texture: Rolled oats add texture and heartiness to the muffins. Consider toasting the oats lightly before adding them to enhance their flavor. You can also use a flax egg or large eggs to add moisture to the batter.
Fold in blueberries gently: Fold in the blueberries gently to prevent them from bursting and turning the batter blue. For the best results, use fresh or thawed frozen blueberries.
Use liners or silicone cups: Line the air fryer basket with silicone muffin cups or paper liners to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Fill muffin cups appropriately: Fill the muffin cups about two-thirds full to leave room for the muffins to rise during baking without overflowing.
Check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to check for doneness. When the muffins are ready, they should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
Cool properly: Allow the muffins to cool in the air fryer basket for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps prevent them from becoming soggy on the bottom.
Store properly: Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes before serving to restore their freshness.

Faq’s

Can I use frozen blueberries in banana blueberry oatmeal muffins? Yes, you can use frozen blueberries in place of fresh blueberries. However, be sure to thaw them first and pat them dry to remove excess moisture before adding them to the muffin batter.

Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats? While rolled oats provide a heartier texture, you can substitute quick oats if that’s what you have on hand. Just note that the texture of the muffins may be slightly different.

How do I prevent my muffins from sticking to the air fryer basket? To prevent sticking, it’s recommended to use silicone muffin cups or paper liners in the air fryer basket. This helps ensure easy removal of the muffins and makes cleanup a breeze.

Can I make these muffins without bananas? Bananas add flavor and moisture to the muffins. If you prefer not to use bananas, you may need to adjust the amount of liquid or add additional moisture to the batter to compensate. YOu can use vegetable oil or coconut oil, a flax egg, or large eggs.

How long do these muffins stay fresh? These muffins are best enjoyed within 2-3 days of baking. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also freeze them for longer storage and reheat them in the air fryer when ready to enjoy. For best results place the leftover muffins into a freezer bag.
