What Muffin Pans Can You Use In The Air Fryer?

When I first started baking muffins in the air fryer, I could not find any pans that fit, so I used silicone muffin tins. While these work in an air fryer, they tend not to hold the shape of a muffin as well as metal pans. So, you often end up with muffins that look like ski slopes. That is because the air is moving around and sometimes knocks over the muffin tins.

  • Muffin Tin: I highly recommend investing in this tin. It will fit almost all of the air fryer oven models and fit most of the larger basket air fryers.
  • Muffin Liners: AMAZONBASICS REUSABLE, SILICONE, NON-STICK BAKING CUPS LINERS – PACK OF 12

What’s The Difference Between A Convection Oven and Air Fryer?

An air fryer and convection oven are different and should not be swapped. An air fryer uses hot air to circulate all around the food. You will find that the air fryer cooks faster than a convection oven. It also provides a bit different texture than a convection oven.

How Long Do You Cook Zucchini Muffins In The Air Fryer?

You will want to start checking your muffins around the 10-minute mark. They will cook anywhere from 10-14 minutes. You will know when your muffins are done by sticking a toothpick in the center of the muffins, and they come out clean from the wet batter. Sometimes you might poke a blueberry, and it will give you a blue tinge, which is okay.
