Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Start by placing paper or silicone muffin cups into a small air fryer basket or tray.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the egg with the sugar until it looks slightly lighter.
  3. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla, and stir until smooth.
  4. Sprinkle in the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Mix gently, just until no dry spots remain.
  6. Fold in the apple or chocolate, keeping the batter loose and uneven.
  7. Divide the batter between the cups, filling them about three-quarters full.
  8. Air fry at 170°C / 340°F for 12–14 minutes, until the tops look set and spring back lightly.
  9. 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.
