    Top part of the photo is a black air fryer basket filled with pumpkin muffins in colorful muffin cups. Towards the middle is a white cup with coffee, hinted with cream. Below that is a white plate with a muffin cut in half with a fork. All set on a white background with a white/red striped napkin to the left of the plate.

    Did you know that pumpkin flavor never goes out of style? Totally true, I promise! (wink wink)

    As we are entering upon the beloved season of many, pumpkin flavored everything is starting to appear.

    To be candid, I do love pumpkin flavor. I cannot say that I go crazy over it though, but I do indulge!

    We have not many anything pumpkin in our air fryer before this recipe!

    These days, it seems like air fryers can literally make anything! So why not pumpkin muffins?!

    If you are dipping your toes into the air frying world, especially when it comes to baking in your air fryer, I would suggest you check out our Air Fryer Cupcakes. They are easy, made from a mix and virtually fool-proof!

    HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS:

    1. Combine the eggs, oil, both sugars and pumpkin puree together. Whisk well to combine. Set aside.
    2. Then combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and spices.
    3. Slowly mix the dry ingredient mixture into the wet batter. Mix enough to combine, be sure not to over mix.
    4. Add in the chocolate chips to the batter. Again, gently combine but do not over mix.
    5. Distribute batter into silicone baking cups.
    6. Air Fry muffins at 350F/176C for 12-14 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter

    CAN YOU FREEZE THESE PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS?

    You can freeze them, however I find that the air fryer method isn't necessarily the best way to batch bake things to freeze.

    It would be more efficient to use a larger oven where you could cook a double batch at a time.

    HOW TO STORE THESE AIR FRYER MUFFINS?

    These muffins do well on the counter, in an air tight container, for about 2 days. Beyond that I would store in the fridge.

    AIR FRYER PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFIN TIPS:

    Brown Muffins - your muffins WILL BROWN in the air fryer. The constant circulation of very hot air does this. Just be prepared that these muffins will out a bit darker or have more brown color on the tops then they would if you baked them in a traditional oven. They are not burnt and still taste wonderful!

    Pumpkin - you NEED to use pumpkin puree to this recipe. You CANNOT use pumpkin pie filling it is NOT the same. If you use pumpkin pie filling your muffins will not turn out as intended.

    Brown Sugar - You can use either light brown sugar or dark brown sugar for this pumpkin recipe.

    Muffin Cups - While you can use paper muffin cups in your air fryer, we suggest silicone muffin cups. We find they keep their shape better and we like the reusability of them.

    Over-mixing - It is possible to over mix this muffin batter. Each time you add in the ingredients, just mix enough to make sure its combined. If the batter is overmixed, it can change the texture of the muffin and create tunnels and holes inside the muffin

    Dairy Free? - You can easily adapt this recipe to be dairy free by using a dairy free chocolate chip. We prefer dark chocolate when it comes to these pumpkin muffins.

    Vegan? - While you can use an egg replacer in many recipes, we do NOT recommend it for this recipe. The more eggs a recipe has the harder is it to get the replacer to work.

    Gluten Free? - This recipe can be made with an equal substitute of Bob Red Mill's 1-1 Gluten Free Baking flour.
