Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat
Preheat the air fryer to 300°F for 5 minutes.
Wet
Whisk the sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth. Mix in the yogurt and oil.
Dry
Fold in the flour and baking powder until just combined, then stir in your add-ins.
Fill
Divide the batter between 2 silicone or paper-lined cupcake molds, filling about two-thirds.
Bake
Air fry 14 to 16 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool before frosting.
- Use silicone liners so the cups hold their shape in the basket.
- A low temperature keeps the tops from doming and cracking.
- Spoon a teaspoon of jam into the center for a surprise filling.
