Which Muffin Cups Work in the Air Fryer?

• I like to use these Amazon Basics Reusable Silicone Baking Cups.
  Silicone can withstand high heat, and are food safe. They work well in the air fryer.
• There is also a great Air Fryer Accessory Kit that has a pizza pan, cake pan, muffin pan, and a few other useful accessories (check your air fryer size as these come in different sizes).

How to Make Corn Muffins in the Air Fryer

Gather and measure out all of the ingredients. Melt the butter in the mixing bowl.

Add the remaining ingredients and mix. Fill the muffin cups ¾ of the way full.

Cook the corn muffins on the air fry setting. The time will depend on how large the muffin cups you use. This recipe uses standard size.

Can I Make This in a Cake Pan?

• Yes, if you have a shallow cake pan that fits in your air fryer, such as the one in this air fryer accessory kit, you can make this as a cornbread cake.
• You will need to cook it about twice as long as the corn muffins.
