Air Fryer Cupcakes (from a mix)

Air Fryer Cupcakes will be a hit with your family. Making cupcakes in the air fryer has never been easier. Just mix the batter and air fry!

We haven’t created too many sweets in our air fryer yet, but just thinking about air fryer dessert recipes has me drooling. I have such a sweet tooth, so I am excited to explore with new recipes. In the past, I’ve tried Air Fryer Cookies. I’d like to expand that! I mean who doesn’t love sweets?!

For these cupcakes, I used a boxed cake mix. Generally, I think any brand will do. Part of our family needs to be gluten-free due to health conditions but a cake mix with wheat should work the same!

As far as equipment goes, I used pretty much everything you already have in your kitchen:

• Air Fryer
• Whisk
• Silicone Cupcake Holders
• Small Bowl
• Large Measuring Bowl/ Mixing Bowl
• Measuring Cups

How do I make cupcakes in the air fryer

1. Select the cake mix that you’d like to use.
2. Gather ingredients needed for the cake mix.
3. Follow instructions on the box. Mix all ingredients together.
4. Put silicone muffin liners into air fryer basket. Fill each silicon liner about 3/4 full.
5. Air Fryer the cupcakes at 350 F (176C) for 11 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Let cupcakes cool completely, then frost if you’d like.
