It's no secret I love my air fryer! I love that it's so versatile and works great for breakfast and dessert recipes like Air Fryer Pound Cake and Air Fryer Apple Hand Pies.
What is the difference between an air fryer and a convection oven? The hot air in an air fryer is not directly blown around the food. An air fryer's heat is presented above the food. Because air fryers are smaller they will also cook at faster speeds. This is great because these muffins are ready in 15 minutes!

How to Bake and Cook Muffins in the Air Fryer
- You will need to apply simple baking techniques by combining the dry ingredients, flour, rolled oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sweetener in a bowl separate from the wet ingredients, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and milk.
- Mix both separately and then combine. Stir.
- Fold in the bluberries.
- Add the batter to silicone muffin molds.
- Air fry.
Air Fryer Temperature
I like to use 350 degrees. Feel free to lower the temperature to meet the needs of your air fryer model.
How Long to Bake Muffins in the Air Fryer
The muffins will need to bake for 11-15 minutes. Insert a toothpick to test when they have finished cooking.

Can You Use Silicone Baking Cups or Paper Cups in an Air Fryer?
You can use both silicone baking cups or paper cups in the air fryer. The silicone cups are a lot more sturdy, and the muffins are so easy to remove! They are completely nonstick.
How to Store Air Fryer Muffins
Store the muffins in a sealable container or bag in the fridge for up to one week.
Freezer Tips
Freeze the muffins in a sealable container or bag. Defrost at room temperature before reheating.

Air Fryer Blueberry Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose or white whole wheat flour
- ¾ cup old-fashioned oats (oatmeal)
- ½ cup brown sweetener Light brown sugar can be used if preferred
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup melted unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 2 eggs (at room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup blueberries You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw.
Instructions
- Combine the flour, rolled oats, salt, cinnamon, brown sweetener, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Mix.
- Combine the milk, eggs, vanilla, and butter in a separate medium-sized bowl. Mix using a silicone spoon.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir.
- Fold in the blueberries and stir.
- Divide the batter among 12 silicone muffin cups and add them to the air fryer. Spraying the liners with oil is optional. The muffins generally don't stick.
- Place the air fryer on 350 degrees. Monitor the muffins closely for proper cook time, as every model will cook differently. The muffins will need to cook 11-15 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the middle of a muffin, if it returns clean the muffins have finished baking. Mine were ready at about 13 minutes.

Notes
- If the muffins brown too fast on the top, you can lower the temperature on your air fryer.

I just tried this recipe. It is so delicious ever I think. My children like this so much. I like oily food, so I use a little bit more oil than your specifications.

It would be nice to have the ingredients and temperatures listed in international units, to save the trouble of converting. Many sites have a button you can click to let you choose international or US units.

These turned out perfectly as advertised; so good! Thank you for sharing, Brandi! Had to lower temp to 330 degrees, but that's the only change. Took 12 minutes, just as you said. 😋

Sydney says
As soon as this came in my email I knew I had to try! So easy to make! They are delicious. I used the link and bought the silicone muffin cups too!
staysnatched says
So glad to hear it!
Michelle says
Do you leave the oats whole and just mix in with the dry ingredients? Probably a crazy question but......lol
staysnatched says
I don’t understand the question.
Debbie says
I’m diabetic can I substitute almond flour?
staysnatched says
Yes, but almond flour is not a 1:1 substitute for all purpose flour so the measurements will change. I have not tested this recipe with almond flour. You can try this baked version: https://www.staysnatched.com/keto-blueberry-breakfast-muffins/
