The gluten-free olive muffins made with the air fryer are tasty and no one will notice that they are made with gluten-free flours, perfect for the intolerant and for the whole family. They are easy to prepare and in a short time you can cook them in the air fryer or in the traditional oven.
In the batter, besides the olives, I added a fresh spring onion and a handful of parsley and then cooked them in paper cups of 2.75 inches in diameter. With this dose, I made 9 and they are perfect for a single serving, to be served as an appetizer or for a rustic snack, or at a buffet.

Add the eggs, milk, and oil, and mix the mixture until you get a smooth batter.
Add the pitted black olives cut into slices, the finely sliced fresh spring onion, and a handful of chopped fresh parsley to the mixture. Mix and incorporate the ingredients.
Prepare the paper cups, I used the size of 2.75 inches in diameter. Pour 2 tablespoons of batter inside without reaching the edge.
