Perfect to serve with salads, soups, pasta and stews, they air fryer garlic cheese muffins are incredibly tasty! They’re flavoured with garlic and a touch of cumin, and packed with sharp cheddar.
You can make the batter for these air fryer garlic cheesy muffins in a single bowl.
You’ll start with the wet ingredients and seasonings, whisking eggs together with milk, oil, plenty of garlic granules, as well as some cumin, dried sage and a pinch of salt and pepper.
You’ll then fold in self-raising flour and baking powder, followed by a generous helping of mature (sharp) cheddar which gives the muffins a really great texture and bags of flavour.
You’ll then pile the batter into two 4-hole muffin trays and bake in your air fryer one tray after the other.
The resulting muffins are tall, aromatic and delicious, with a tender inner crumb, and a wonderful garlic flavour. Even kids who aren’t totally sold on the idea of savoury muffins wolf these down, so I know they’re a winner.
