How To Make Air Fryer Muffins (Morning Glory Muffins Recipe Included!) (2024)

FAQs

Can I use paper muffin cups in my air fryer? ›

You can use paper cases in an air fryer, but they work best if you put them in an air fryer cake tin or muffin tin as they're not as sturdy as silicone ones.

Invented in 1978 by chef Pam McKinstry, who owned Nantucket's Morning Glory Cafe, the original morning glory muffin contained grated carrots and apples, raisins, pecans, shredded coconut, and a hefty dose of cinnamon, all loosely held together by a fairly conventional American muffin batter.

The most important rule of muffin making is to not over stir the mix. Instead, what you really want is to just moisten the ingredients. Resist the temptation to stir or beat the batter until it is smooth and lump free.

Bake for 12-15 mins until well-risen and the tops of the muffins spring back when pressed. Lift out of the air-fryer and allow to cool on a wire rack for 15 mins before serving.

You can use any ovenproof dish or mould in the Philips Airfryer, whether it is made of glass, ceramic, metal or silicone. You can also use silicone or paper cupcake cups or moulds to bake cupcakes, muffins or small gratins.

It is possible to replace oil with butter in a muffin recipe as generally most muffin recipes are quite forgiving and you may find that butter gives a better flavour.

Overmixing the batter.

When you overmix the batter, it crushes the air bubbles and ruins the fluffy texture. → Follow this tip: To ensure a batch of light, fluffy muffins, mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until just barely combined, and no more dry flour is visible.

The best bakery-style crumb muffins start with cake flour

Cake flour is more finely ground and has less protein, which leaves the muffins with a fine, light crumb and soft texture. Using cake flour is an easy way to avoid heavy, dense muffins even if you end up stirring just a bit too much.

How do you keep muffins from falling apart? It's gluten. See, to a baker, gluten holds the whole world together.

What does Chinese morning glory taste like? ›

It is also known as swamp morning glory, water spinach, swamp spinach, or "rau muống" in Vietnamese. It is a leafy green vegetable with long slender stems and tiny white flowers. Morning glory has a slightly bitter taste and is often compared to spinach or watercress in terms of texture and flavor.

Morning glory is also known as water spinach or 空心菜 (kōng xīn cài) in Chinese, which translates to “hollow heart vegetable.” As you can see, it's named after its hollow and crunchy stems. Other names include ong choy, pak boong, kang kong, and swamp cabbage to name a few.

Start with room-temperature ingredients.

Having eggs, butter, and milk at room temperature helps them form a smooth mixture that traps air and expands when heated in the oven. That expansion makes your muffins fluffy and light. Room-temperature butter should indent easily when you press it.

Ideal Muffin Cooking Temperature

As stated above, different flours, swaps and add-ins can impact muffin cooking time and should be taken into account when making your baked treat. That being said, the standard oven temperature for baking desserts like quick breads and muffins is commonly set to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Overmixing is a common problem with muffins. First combine dry ingredients, mixing well. Then combine liquid ingredients, mixing well. Finally combine dry and wet ingredients, by hand, using only 15 to 20 light strokes.

Using regular paper cups in an air fryer is not recommended. They can catch fire or leak dangerous chemicals into your food because they are not made to handle the extreme heat of an air fryer. If you're going to use paper cups in an air fryer, be sure they're oven-safe.
