Ingredients for Air Fryer Chocolate Muffins:
- 1 medium egg (at room temperature)
- 3.5 tbsp milk (at room temperature)
- 2.7 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sweetened cocoa powder

- as needed chocolate chips
Tools for Air Fryer Chocolate Muffins:
- 1 Air Fryer
- 5 Baking Cups
- 1 Bowl
- 1 Electric Whisk
Steps for Preparing and Cooking the Chocolate Muffins:
In a large bowl, place the egg and sugar and start to beat them with an electric whisk, then add the vegetable oil and milk and combine them with the other ingredients.
Now add the sifted flour with the baking powder and cocoa powder and continue to beat with the electric whisk until the mixture is well combined, smooth, and without lumps.
If you like, you can also add chocolate chips or chocolate shavings (about 20 grams) and mix them into the batter with a silicone spatula.
On the air fryer rack, place 5 silicone baking cups (no need to oil and flour them), add a couple of generous tablespoons of batter into each cup, then place the rack in the air fryer basket and cook at 340°F for 12 minutes.
Once cooked, while still warm, decorate them with pistachio flour or chocolate shavings, or if you prefer, leave them undecorated and when they have cooled, dust them with powdered sugar.
Once cooled, remove them from the baking cups and place them on a serving plate. If you like, you can also decorate them with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
