Instructions

Let’s start by preheating the air fryer and gathering all the ingredients to make these delicious air fryer muffins.

Hint: Air fryer cooking times can vary, so it's best to start checking your muffins for doneness at the 10-minute mark. This will help avoid over-browning and ensure the muffin remains moist inside.

Variations

• Use a different spread. Biscoff tastes incredible but you could also swap it out for a number of other spreads based on your taste preference. Some others to choose from are Nutella, hazelnut, cookie butter or peanut butter.
• Add spices to the muffins. Cinnamon, nutmeg or cardamon would mix in very well with the batter if you are wanting to spice these muffins up.
• Try Add-Ins. Consider throwing in a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the batter.
• Use a different extract. Lemon or almond can be used to give these muffins a different flavor profile.
• Make dairy free. These muffins can be made dairy free by swapping out the cream cheese for your favorite dairy free cream cheese. No worries, Biscoff is naturally dairy free.
• Add a streusel topping. Want to really jazz up these muffins? Add a streusel topping. All you will need is a little bit of white sugar, all purpose flour, cinnamon and butter combined to make this topping.

Tips

• Use a standing mixer or handheld mixer. Either device can be used when creating this amazing batter.
• All air fryers don’t cook the same. This Air Fryer recipe uses an Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven. It is best to watch during the first time you make this recipe. You can also use either “Air Fry” or “Bake” functions if your model has a separate “bake” setting. 
• Use a transfer pan. This will make transferring the silicone molds easier out of the air fryer along with quicker clean up.
• Generously grease the silicone molds. This will ensure the muffins do not stick to the molds and will come out easily after cooking.
• Use a toothpick to check if the muffins are done. This should be done at the last 2 to 3 minutes. If the toothpick comes out with some batter, you can cancel the air fryer but do not remove the muffins yet. The residual heat from the air fryer will continue to cook the muffins without overly browning the tops.
• Let muffins cool before serving. Remove the muffins out of the silicone molds and place on a cooling rack for a few minutes before enjoying.

Serving suggestions

These Biscoff cream cheese muffins pair well with a cup of coffee or glass of milk. They can even be eaten on the go if you are short on time. You can also serve with a side of sausage, fresh fruit or yogurt for a more balanced breakfast.

These muffins also make a great afternoon snack that can be enjoyed with a cool refreshing glass of iced blackberry tea. You can pair it with a handful of nuts for extra protein and an energy boost.

In addition to enjoying for breakfast or as a snack, these cream cheese muffins make a fantastic dessert after dinner. You can warm them up and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or top with whipped cream.

Storage

Once cooled, place any leftover muffins in an airtight sealed container or bag to be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

For freezing, place any leftover muffins in a freezer safe airtight container or bag, label them with the date and place in freezer for up to 3 months.

To reheat from frozen, let thaw overnight in the refrigerator then place in air fryer for a few minutes to warm back up. This method for reheating can also apply if they are simply just refrigerated.
