The air fryer chocolate muffins are soft and delicious treats that can be prepared in no time: perfect for breakfast with a cappuccino or simply to accompany coffee. Just a few minutes to mix and bake them, and they’re ready to enjoy. Personally, I don’t find using the air fryer for desserts very useful. I prefer the oven. After all, the air fryer is nothing more than a convection oven. Especially if the model has only one heating element, the baking of desserts is never perfect. However, muffins are small and can be baked well. So when you’re in a hurry, the air fryer can save you time, but it’s important not to overfill the muffin cups and make sure they are made of sturdy cardboard so they don’t get blown away by the circulating air, allowing the batter to cling well to the sides and not take on strange shapes. Great! Now we’re ready to prepare the air fryer chocolate muffins.

Ingredients
With these ingredients, you can make eight small muffins or six larger ones, depending on the muffin cups you use. For the air fryer, I prefer slightly smaller muffin cups so they cook perfectly with less batter.
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 tbsp rice oil
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 8 pieces of dark chocolate (or your choice)
Tools
- 1 Kitchen Aid Artisan Mixer
- 8 muffin cups
- 1 Air Fryer GOURMETmaxx
Steps
In the bowl of a stand mixer or with an electric mixer, beat the egg with the sugar, then add the flour, milk, and oil, and mix. Finally, add the baking powder. Once all the ingredients are well combined, distribute the batter into the muffin cups. Insert chocolate pieces into the batter and bake in an air fryer at 320°F for 16 minutes.
For oven baking, 350°F for 15/20 minutes.
