How to prepare Chocolate Muffins in Air Fryer
Let’s start preparing the chocolate muffins cooked in the air fryer, finely chop the dark chocolate and melt it in a bain-marie, when it is melted, remove it from the hot water so it has time to cool down a bit.
Pour the eggs and sugar into a bowl and work with the electric mixer until you get a light and fluffy mixture. Slowly add the milk and oil while continuing with the electric mixer, then add the melted dark chocolate and keep mixing.
Sift directly into the bowl, the all-purpose flour, cocoa, a pinch of salt, and baking powder. Fold these into the remaining ingredients with a spatula using upward and downward movements to prevent deflating the mixture.
Pour the prepared mixture into the cupcake liners, filling them about 3/4 full, and add chocolate chips on top.
Place the liners in the air fryer basket and bake at 302°F for 20 minutes. Before removing, perform the toothpick test to check if they are cooked inside. If the toothpick comes out moist, continue cooking for a few more minutes. The cooking time varies depending on the type of air fryer and the size of the liners.
When the chocolate muffins cooked in the air fryer are done, remove them from the air fryer basket and let them cool before serving.
