Ingredients
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: chocolate chips, fresh berries, powdered sugar, or caramel sauce
Steps
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- If you want to add chocolate chips or berries, gently fold them into the batter now.
- Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
- Lightly grease small silicone muffin cups or ramekins and fill them about 3/4 full with batter.
- Place the filled cups in the air fryer basket and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Carefully remove the desserts and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra touch.
Tips or Variations
- For a richer flavor, substitute milk with coconut milk or almond milk.
- Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm spice twist.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, these desserts can be baked in a regular oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes.
- Use fresh fruit toppings like sliced strawberries or blueberries to add color and freshness.
- Experiment with different extracts, such as almond or lemon, to change the flavor profile.
