Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 packet baking powder
  • 6 3/4 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 pinches ground cinnamon
  • 5.3 oz chocolate chips (or dark chocolate pieces)

Tools

  • 1 Electric Whisk
  • 18 Muffin Cups
  • 1 Air Fryer Philips

Preparation

  • In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients such as flour, sugar, and baking powder.

  • In another bowl, mix the liquid ingredients: the egg, vegetable oil, and milk.

  • When the wet ingredients are well blended, start gradually adding the dry ingredients, mixing with a whisk. Continue to add them in several steps until you get a smooth and homogeneous batter.

  • Finally, gently fold in the chocolate chips and cinnamon, mixing everything to get a well-distributed and homogeneous batter.

  • Place the paper muffin cups directly in the air fryer baskets and fill them about 3/4 full with the batter. Cook the muffins at 338°F for about 18 minutes. Before turning off the air fryer, check that they are well browned on the surface.

NOTES

These treats will captivate you with their delicacy and softness. If you want to vary them each time, you can replace a tablespoon of flour with a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder, or enrich the batter by mixing the chocolate chips with walnut kernels or chopped hazelnuts.
