Yield: 8 muffins
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 9–11 minutes per batch
Total Time: 33–37 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
- ½ cup whole-wheat flour, plus 2 tablespoons
- ¼ cup oat bran
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup grated carrots
- ¼ cup chopped pecans
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
- 16 foil muffin cups, paper liners removed
- Cooking spray
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Begin by preheating your air fryer to 330°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the whole-wheat flour, oat bran, flaxseed meal, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir them together to create a uniform mixture.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and pure vanilla extract. Pour this wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently stir until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the grated carrots, chopped pecans, chopped walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds into the batter, adding an extra layer of texture and nutrition.
- Prepare the muffin cups by doubling up the foil cups to create 8 in total. Give them a quick spray of cooking spray to ensure easy release after baking.
- Place 4 of the prepared foil cups into the air fryer basket and divide half of the muffin batter evenly among them.
- Allow the muffins to bake at 330°F for 9 to 11 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when the muffins are ready.
- Once done, repeat the process in step 7 to bake the remaining 4 muffins and complete your batch.
