Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Blueberry Muffin Bites
Here are the simple ingredients to make mini muffins in air fryer.
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.
- Jiffy Blueberry Muffin Mix: You can use your favorite blueberry muffin mix. I have used several over the years, and they were all amazing!
- Egg: Use one large, room-temperature egg. Use 1/4 cup of applesauce, vegetable oil, or an egg replacer for an egg-free blueberry recipe.
- Milk: You can use any milk you have on hand, including oat milk, almond milk, or regular milk. You can also prepare a dairy-free recipe with a milk alternative.
How To Cook Muffin Bites In The Air Fryer
Here are the step-by-step directions to make muffin bites in an air fryer.
Add the Muffin mix, egg, and milk to a large mixing bowl. Mix well. Then spray your silicone muffin tin, silicone cups, or oven-safe muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray, filling it about 2/3 the way full.
Set in your air fryer basket and bake the muffins for 12-15 minutes at 320 degrees F, the air fryer’s temperature. Before removing the blueberry muffins from the air filter, insert a toothpick into the center to ensure they are fully cooked. Let cool, then flip the muffins over. If you coated them enough, they would flip right out. Serve with melted butter; they make the perfect snack.
Pro Tips
- Jiffy or Boxed Blueberry Muffin Mix: I used Jiffy Mix today, but you can use any boxed blueberry muffin mix for this recipe. Of course, it will work with any flavor, including chocolate chips, banana, or even apple-cinnamon muffins! This is a quick way to make gluten-free blueberry muffins!
- Mixing: Stop mixing once your ingredients are combined; otherwise, you will get a batch of dense muffins! OVermixing results in it hard muffins.
- Timing: Since every air fryer is slightly different, check on your Blueberry Muffin Bites frequently as they cook up!
- Bake: Use silicone baking cups or a small muffin tin.
Faq’s
These muffins are so good. Do they have to be mini? No way, they can be a regular size, too, for Mom and Dad! You’ll have to adjust the baking time as they’ll take longer than small ones. I like testing my baked goods by gently pressing down on them; if they spring back, then they are ready, but if there’s no give at all–more cooking is needed
Can you add fresh or frozen blueberries to the mixture? Yes, a great way to add even more flavor is to add a half cup of either fresh or frozen (but thawed) blueberries. The cooking time will remain the same.
Dairy-free blueberry muffin recipe: If you want a dairy-free blueberry recipe, you can use oat milk, almond milk, or another substitute.
Can I use paper muffin cups in my air fryer? Yes, you can. They help prevent the muffins from sticking to the air fryer basket and make cleanup easier. However, remember that paper cups may become greasy during cooking, so using silicone muffin cups or liners might be a better option for easier removal and presentation.
Why are my blueberry muffins dry? Several factors could contribute to dry blueberry muffins. Overmixing the batter can develop gluten, resulting in a tough texture. Overbaking can also dry out muffins, so check for doneness a few minutes before the recommended baking time. Additionally, using too little moisture in the batter or too much flour can lead to dry muffins.
Should blueberry muffin batter be thick or thin? Blueberry muffin batter should be relatively thick but still pourable. It should have a consistency similar to that of pancake batter. If the batter is too thin, the muffins may spread too much during baking and lose shape. The muffins may turn out dense and heavy if it’s too thick.
Is a blueberry muffin a healthy snack? Blueberry muffins can be a healthy snack with wholesome ingredients like whole wheat flour, Greek yogurt, and fresh blueberries. They provide fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants from the blueberries and can be lower in added sugar and fat if made with healthier substitutions. However, commercially prepared blueberry muffins often contain high amounts of sugar and fat, so checking the ingredients and nutritional information is essential when choosing store-bought options.
Air fryer gluten-free blueberry muffin recipe: If you are looking for a gluten-free air fryer blueberry recipe. You can substitute it for Krusteaz Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffin Mix or Betty Crocker Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffin Mix. The recipe will work the same. Remember to follow the package’s instructions, but the cooking time and temperature will remain the same.e.
How to store blueberry muffins: Let the blueberry muffins cool to room temperature. Place the leftover blueberry muffins into an air-tight container. They will last for about 2 to 3 days at room temperature. For any longer, you should freeze them.
