Ingredients required to make Air Fryer Vegan Banana Blueberry Muffins

Bananas

Any banana variety works well. Make sure to use ripe ones. I love using overripe bananas with dark spots on their skins as it provides natural sweetness to these muffins.

Maple syrup

For sweetness I have used maple syrup here. However you can also use agave syrup or honey.

Oil 

Here I have used sunflower oil. Other options like melted, cooled coconut oil, light avocado oil, canola oil or any flavour less oil works well too. Some like to use unsalted butter also.

All purpose flour

This one is the main ingredient to make muffins so make sure to use room temperature, preferably fresh flour.

What is the  difference between muffins and cupcakes?

Of course both are different from each other. According to Google –

The main difference is that muffins tend to be denser, while cupcakes have a lighter and fluffier batter.

The batter for cupcakes is beaten more thoroughly to incorporate more air, resulting in a lighter texture.

They also differ in size; cupcakes are typically smaller than muffins
