Ingredients
Instructions
- Start by placing paper or silicone muffin cups into a small air fryer basket or tray.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg with the sugar until it looks slightly lighter.
- Add the milk, oil, and vanilla, and stir until smooth.
- Sprinkle in the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix gently, just until no dry spots remain.
- Fold in the apple or chocolate, keeping the batter loose and uneven.
- Divide the batter between the cups, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Air fry at 170°C / 340°F for 12–14 minutes, until the tops look set and spring back lightly.
- Let them cool for a few minutes before eating — they firm up as they rest.
Storage (changed perspective: food for later)
These muffins keep well for the next day. Store them in a closed container at room temperature, or freeze and reheat briefly in the air fryer when you need a quick breakfast or snack.
