What kind of blueberries to use

For this recipe you can use either fresh or frozen blueberries. Generally frozen blueberries will actually end up turning your batter more blue from the residual water or ice that builds up. But, they will still work.

However, I tend to like to work with fresh blueberries for making muffins.

Can I use other mix-ins?

If you want to take the blueberries out of this recipe and change it up with something else, that will still work too!

The muffin base is super delicious and would work great if you wanted to throw a few other things in too!

Other options:

Chopped strawberries
Nuts
Lemon and poppy seeds
Chopped apples
Chococlate chips

How to make Air Fryer Blueberry Muffins:

Step 1: Mix wet ingredients

To start making the muffins begin by whisking together the egg, oil water, vanilla extract and lemon zest together in a mixing bowl.

Step 2: Mix dry ingredients

Then, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder and salt in a separate mixing bowl.

Step 3: Combine everything

Now, combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Add in the blueberries.

Step 4: Make the topping

Now that the muffin batter is made, make the crumble, combine the flour and sugar in a small bowl. Add in 2 tbsp of melted butter, add more as needed until the crumbs form.

Do not over-mix because you do not want it to become like a dough.

Step 5: Prepare the muffins

Once you have the muffin batter and topping made, fill the silicone muffin liners about halfway full with the muffin mix.

Place a couple of blueberries on top of the muffins (for exploding blueberry effect), then add the crumble mixture on top.

After the liners are filled, place in the air fryer basket.

Step 6: Bake the muffins

Now, air fry at 320 degrees F or 160 degrees C for 10-11 minutes, or until the interval temperature is around 200-205 degrees F or 93-96 degrees C.

After the muffins are cooked through, let the muffiin rest in the warm air fryer for a couple of minutes.

Then, carefully remove them from the air fryer basket and silicone liners. Enjoy!
