Are muffins basically cupcakes? What is the difference between muffins and cupcakes?

The muffins and cupcakes have a few differences. Here I’ve found some of the differences between the muffins and cupcakes. Hope these points will clear your doubt.

  • Muffins are healthier than cupcakes because they do not have frosting.

Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Carrot Muffins:

  • Try to use the fresh carrots for the recipe. Fresh carrots are more moister and flavourful than frozen ones.
  • Grate the carrots with the help of a food processor or grate with your hands.
  • You can use honey or maple syrup instead of brown sugar.
  • You can use a silicone cup or paper cup. If you’re using the paper cup to fill the batter without the pan make sure that you double the cup.
  • Insert a clean toothpick through the middle of the muffin and if it comes out clean the muffins are done.
  • Usually, the muffins do not have frosting, but you can serve them according to your liking.

Can you put paper muffin cups in air fryer?

Yes, you can put paper muffin cups or use silicone baking cups as I did for this recipe. However, if you’re using paper muffin cups without the cupcake/muffin tins make sure to double up the paper cup. While making the muffins I suggest you use silicone muffin cups because they are sturdier and hold the thick muffin batter.

Can you put cake tins in an air fryer?

Yes, you can use any oven-proof material in an air fryer. So, you can surely put the cake tins in an air fryer.
