Air Fryer Pancake Muffins

Quick, foolproof air fryer pancake muffins that are amazingly soft, moist, fluffy and delicious. A surefire winner and keeper for the recipe box.

A healthy, eggy, dessert bread that takes minutes to make fresh.

WHAT THEY TASTE LIKE: A sponge cake from a Chinese bakery store right out of the oven.

Ingredients

Flour of choice – Carbalose flour (low-carb flour) or all purpose flour. For less flour or carbs, substitute half the flour for grated cheese. The result will be similar, but slightly more moist.

Sugar or sugar substitute – A little goes a long way; any type of sugar is fine.

Liquid egg whites – Can substitute with a real egg white; liquid egg whites whip up fine and makes storing or discarding an egg yolk unnecessary.

Equipment used

• Electric mixer
• Cuisinart® Digital Air Fryer Toaster Oven
• Silicone baking cups – also possible to try muffin tins but oil them up first; silicone baking cups are ideal because they do not require greasing and muffins pop right out
• Spatula
• Whisk
• 2 mixing bowls
