Air Fryer Zucchini Muffins
Can you bake in the air fryer? Yes, and there's no better thing to try than Air Fryer Muffins! These zucchini muffins are so delicious and easy to make.
Servings: 4 muffins
Calories: 286kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup +2 tablespoons granulated sugar (75 grams total, if you double the recipe double this amount/ if you double the amount in US customary then manually double the tablespoons)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼-½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- ¼ cup finely chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts or pecans) or chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 large egg
- 2½ tablespoons vegetable oil (I use sunflower or corn oil)
- ½ cup shredded zucchini (packed not squeezed)
- 3 tablespoons milk (2% or whole)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon (if adding) and nuts or chips if adding.
- In a medium bowl with a fork or whisk beat the egg slightly, add the oil, zucchini, milk and vanilla stir to combine.
- Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just to combine (about 15 stirs only) do not over mix.
- Add the batter evenly between the 4 muffin cups*. Place the cups in the basket of your air fryer. Bake at 320F (160C) for 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached. Let cool before serving. Enjoy!
*If you have regular muffin cups then double or even triple them or you can use silicone cups.
Notes
I never pre-heat my air fryer, I don't find it necessary.
I prefer the taste of the muffins with chopped almonds rather than walnuts.
Air fryer muffins will keep well at room temperature for two to three days. Allow them to cool completely and store them in an airtight container.
You can also store them in the refrigerator and they will last several days longer.
Or, place them in a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze them for up to two months
