Small Batch Air Fryer Blueberry Muffins are a small-batch breakfast recipe made with self-rising flour, sugar, cinnamon, milk, melted butter, egg, vanilla, and fresh blueberries.
This recipe makes 8 muffins, so it’s helpful when you want a homemade breakfast treat without making a full oven batch.
The air fryer keeps it small and manageable, and silicone cupcake liners make the process neat.
These muffins work for breakfast, brunch, snack time, or a sweet breakfast option with coffee.
They have a soft muffin texture, a light cinnamon flavor, and blueberries mixed through the batter.
You don’t need a long ingredient list, which makes this a solid recipe for busy mornings or small households.
A medium bowl, measuring cups, and silicone cupcake liners are helpful for this recipe. A cookie scoop also works well for filling each liner evenly.

Ingredient Substitutions
Fresh Blueberries
Frozen blueberries can be used instead of fresh blueberries. Do not thaw them first. Fold them in gently so the batter does not turn purple.
Self-Rising Flour
If you do not have self-rising flour, use 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1½ teaspoons baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
Milk
Any regular dairy milk works. Unsweetened almond milk or oat milk may also work, but the texture may be slightly different.
Melted Butter
Melted coconut oil or a neutral oil can be used instead of melted butter, but the flavor will change.
Sugar
Light brown sugar can be used instead of granulated sugar for a slightly deeper flavor.

Notes
Tips and Tricks
Use silicone liners – Silicone cupcake liners hold their shape better in the air fryer basket than paper liners. Do not overmix the batter – Mix until the ingredients are combined. Too much mixing can make the muffins dense. Check your air fryer basket size – Air fryer sizes vary, so the muffins may need to cook in batches. Let the muffins cool before removing them – A few minutes of cooling helps the muffins release from the liners without breaking.Storing and Reheating
Store at Room Temperature – Place cooled muffins in an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 2 days. Store in the Refrigerator – Place cooled muffins in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 5 days. Freeze – Wrap each muffin and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in Air Fryer – Place one or two muffins in the air fryer at 300 degrees F for 2 to 3 minutes, or until warm. Reheat in Microwave – Place one muffin on a microwave-safe plate. Warm for 10 to 15 seconds.Nutrition
