What you need to make blueberry muffin bites in the air fryer

You’ll need an air fryer—any model that fits your silicone or paper liners will work. I used a 5.8-quart model, but adjust cooking time as needed since air fryer performance varies.

Besides the air fryer, gather these ingredients:

• all-purpose flour
• sugar
• cinnamon
• milk
• unsalted butter
• egg
• vanilla
• fresh or frozen blueberries

Frozen blueberries work well and are convenient to keep on hand, but fresh berries give the brightest flavor. Either will produce delicious muffin bites.

How to make air fryer blueberry muffin bites

Start by combining the dry ingredients in a large bowl: flour, sugar, and cinnamon. In a separate measuring cup or small bowl whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla, then pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir with a fork until a uniform batter forms.

Gently fold the blueberries into the batter so they stay intact and distribute evenly. Using a portion scoop or spoon, fill silicone or paper liners about three-quarters full. Silicone cups are sturdier for air frying, but paper liners work if you place them in a small pan or a muffin tin that fits your air fryer.

Place the filled liners in the air fryer basket (or on a small baking tray if your model requires it). Air fry at 350°F (about 175°C) for 4–6 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

FAQ’s:

Can I use paper liners in the air fryer?

Yes. You can use oven-safe bakeware—glass, ceramic, metal, or silicone—in most air fryers as long as it fits. If using paper liners, place them in a muffin tin or another sturdy vessel so they don’t blow around from the circulating air.

How do you keep the blueberries from turning the batter blue?

Gently fold the berries into the batter to avoid bursting them. If you’re worried about bleeding, toss the blueberries lightly in a dusting of flour before folding them in—this helps absorb surface moisture and reduce color transfer.
