I just have to ask, do you have any recipe for air fryer bread? considering the quarantine situation now, I really wanna try it on my air fryer. Thanks
That’s a great question!! I don’t but I think it would be something to work on for sure! BTW, I LOVE your site! I have a pup of my own!
Do you know what temp and time to make these in an Instant Pot Omni Plus oven?
Hi Vicky, I am not 100% sure, but it should be very similar. Some members in our facebook group have the oven you have and they’ve made many of our other recipes and the timing/temp was almost exact. It may take a bit of playing. I would just watch/check them in the last 3-4 minutes 🙂
Wow, I had no idea you could bake in an air fryer. I’m impressed by how versatile it is.
It is amazing, how many things you can use it for!
The kids have been getting quite bored with being at home during this pandemic. So I decided I’d involve them more in the kitchen. I saw your directions for air fryer cupcakes and I knew we had a box mix. We made them together and they turned out great. So easy!!
That is great Megan, I am so glad you tried them with the kids!
Can you use paper holders? I don’t have the silicone ones.
I have tried them and they worked for me. They do make me a little more nervous but the 2 times I used them it worked okay. 🙂 I ended up buying the silicone ones for more peace of mind 🙂
I have got to tell you that these turned out great. I got some boxed cake mix from my latest grocery delivery. I made these today with my toddler and they turned out great! Super easy!
I do grocery delivery too! So glad this was easy and also a fun activity to do with your kiddo!
I am so excited about this. I made these today with my daughter and they were great!
We LOVE them in the air fryer, so easy and so kid friendly! Glad you liked them too
Why do some cupcakes drift on the top?
Hi there, sorry I just found this question in the spam part. it is the air circulation that makes cupcakes and even egg cups drift 🙂
