Ingredients and Preparations:

• 1 ½ pounds ground chicken
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup tomato paste
• 1 cup instant oats
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped

Wholesome Creation:

Prepare this nutritious and flavorful dish by following these simple steps:

1. Start by selecting the “Bake” function on your air fryer and adjusting the temperature to 360 degrees F. Set the time to 15 minutes to ensure perfectly cooked muffins. Press the “Start” key to initiate the preheating process.
2. As the air fryer preheats, prepare the silicone muffin cups by brushing them with a light coat of nonstick cooking oil. This step prevents the muffins from sticking and ensures easy removal once they’re cooked.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, olive oil, eggs, tomato paste, instant oats, paprika, Dijon mustard, chili powder, minced garlic, and chopped scallions. The blend of ingredients promises a rich medley of flavors and textures.
4. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined. This ensures an even distribution of flavors throughout each muffin.
5. Once the muffin mixture is ready, divide it equally among the silicone muffin cups. Distribute the mixture evenly to ensure consistent cooking and portion sizes.
6. When the air fryer displays “Add Food,” carefully place the muffin cups on the cooking tray. Ensure that there is enough space between each muffin cup for proper air circulation.
7. Bake the muffins in the preheated air fryer oven for approximately 15 minutes. The result will be muffins that are cooked through, golden brown on top, and bursting with savory goodness.
