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.

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

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.
