Why this recipe works
Small blueberry muffins from the air fryer
The air fryer is suitable for a small portion of muffins if the shapes are stable and not too high. Loose paper barrels can deform in the airflow; therefore place them in solid silicone or metal hollows. The exact number depends on basket diameter and size of the mould.
