Air Fryer English Muffins

Air fryer English muffins have a tasty, crispy texture that is perfect for a quick breakfast. You only need a few simple ingredients, and they are done in just minutes!

If you are looking for more easy breakfasts, try air fryer toast, air fryer bagels, air fryer omelette, or air fryer hash browns. 

WHY I LOVE THESE ENGLISH MUFFINS

When the English muffins are done, they are golden-brown and slightly crispy on the outside. They are so versatile, you can eat them plain, add a bit of butter, jam, or honey, or use them for your favorite breakfast sandwich or eggs benedict. You can top them with fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, sausage patties, or bacon slices.

Having something to eat for breakfast, starts your day right. English muffins have almost no clean up afterwards, making them an ideal breakfast solution when you don’t have a lot of time. So if you need something fast and tasty in the morning, these English muffins are perfect. 

INGREDIENTS

• English Muffins
• Butter

Optional: Add your favorite toppings such as honey or jam. If you’re looking for a more hearty and filling breakfast, use your muffin for a breakfast sandwich. Top your English muffin with scrambled eggs, ham, or bacon slices.

DIRECTIONS

STEP 1
Pull two muffins in half, and then place the English muffin halves in the air fryer basket, or tray.

STEP 2
Air fry at 380 degrees F for about 4-6 minutes. Flip muffins when there are two minutes left if you want the bottoms to be crispy too. Air fry until they are light golden brown.

EXPERT TIPS

• It’s important to follow the instructions closely when air frying to make toasted English muffins. The time and temperature may vary slightly depending on the model of your air fryer, so keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn. You can always add a few extra minutes if needed.
• Be sure to flip halfway to avoid uneven toasting.
• If you are planning to top your English muffin with something like butter or jam, wait until the muffins come out before adding it. This will prevent any sogginess and will help keep them nice and crispy!
• I make this recipe in my Cosori air fryer. Because air fryer brands are different, depending on your ovens size and wattages, cooking time may need to be adjusted 1-2 minutes.

STORING AND REHEATING

Storing and Reheating Air Fryer English Muffins is really simple. Just store them in an airtight container or zip-lock bag in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

To reheat, simply pop them into a toaster or air fryer for a few minutes until warm and crispy. If you’d like a bit of extra flavor, add some butter or your favorite spread before reheating.
