  • 1 cup all-purpose flour The base of your cupcakes.
  • 1/2 cup sugar For a touch of sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup milk Adds moisture; can substitute almond or soy milk.
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil Keeps the cupcakes tender.

  • 2 tsp baking powder Helps the cupcakes rise.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Enhances the flavor.
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or fruit Optional; for extra deliciousness.

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together milk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring until smooth. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or fruit.
  5. Prepare the liners: Place cupcake liners in the air fryer basket (use silicone liners for best results).
  6. Fill: Pour the batter into the liners, filling each about halfway.
  7. Air fry: Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool slightly before serving.
