- 3/4 cup chestnut flour
- 1/2 cup milk (or 1 jar plain yogurt)

Steps for Chestnut Flour and Chocolate Muffins in Air Fryer
Pour the egg into a bowl, then add the sugar, oil, and milk (or, if you prefer, plain yogurt as an alternative). Work the mixture with a hand whisk or an electric mixer until smooth and homogeneous.
At this point, incorporate the flour and baking powder, both previously sifted, carefully mixing to blend all the ingredients well. Finally, add the chocolate chips and mix again to evenly distribute them in the batter.
Take the aluminum molds, butter and flour them, then fill them with 2/3 of the batter. Alternatively, you can line the aluminum molds with paper liners.
Place the molds in the basket of the air fryer (in my case, a fryer with a capacity of 6 liters was used) and cook at 329°F for 12 minutes. Then, lower the temperature to 311°F and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
To ensure they are cooked, do the toothpick test by inserting it in the center of the muffin and pulling it out; it should come out dry. If necessary, extend the cooking for another 2-3 minutes at 311°F.
Once cooked, let the muffins cool on a wire rack. When they have cooled down, you can enjoy them. If desired, you can sprinkle them with powdered sugar.
Storage of Chestnut Flour and Chocolate Muffins in Air Fryer
The muffins can be stored for 3/4 days in an airtight container.
You can replace the chocolate chips in the batter with dried fruits, such as walnuts or hazelnuts.
