  • Air fry them in the preheated air fryer at 190C for 13 - 14 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin comes out clean. Do not overcrowd the air fryer, and air fry them in batches if all muffins cannot fit in one batch.
  • Remove muffins from the airfryer, cool them on a rack and serve.
  • Leftovers, if any, should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator to avoid them getting stale.

Notes

  1. Fresh, ripe strawberries work best in this recipe & should be chopped into tiny pieces.
  2. Buttermilk is used for making these muffins super moist.
  3. Any cooking oil without a strong odour works well in the recipe, I have used sunflower oil.
  4. Batter should be thick & scoopable, but not runny and not dry like a dough.
  5. Air frying times may vary slightly depending on the settings of your airfryer.
