Air Fryer Blueberry Muffin Benefits

  • Use your air fryer to quickly and efficiently make a batch of warm and fluffy blueberry muffins.
  • This recipe can be made using all-purpose flour or gluten-free baking flour.
  • Applesauce helps displace some of the fat in this recipe, yet the muffins remain light and fluffy. These muffins are on the healthy side, but you’d never know it.

Ingredients

Measured ingredients for blueberry muffins in bowls on a white surface.
  • Gluten-free flour is so easy to work with nowadays. Look for a “1 to 1” version. This means it has all the proper ingredients to substitute cup-for-cup for all-purpose flour. I wrote this recipe using gluten free flour but you can easily use regular all-purpose wheat flour.
  • Unsweetened applesauce adds sweetness (so we can use less sugar) and works as a fat to cut back on butter. It’s a versatile ingredient to keep the batter moist.
  • Use any sort of milk here. Dairy-free nut milk or cow’s milk, anything will work (I used unsweetened almond milk).
  • Blueberries are easy to keep in the freezer for muffins or smoothies. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries.
  • Butter, ghee or vegan butter can be used as the fat source in this recipe. You could also use coconut oil.
