    • Ninja Foodi Chocolate Muffins

    Ingredients

    Just your favorite chocolate cake mix and our ingredient list for these Ninja Foodi Chocolate Muffins.

    • 1 chocolate cake mix box (15.25 oz. Milk Chocolate from Betty Crocker)
    • 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
    • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • 3 eggs
    • ¼ cup oil (any vegetable oil will work, I used olive oil)
    • ¼ cup sour cream
    • ½ cup milk
    • 3 cups water to put in the Cooking Pot for the Steam & Bake Function

    Scroll down to the recipe card for quantities.

    Sprinkle is excited to share with you our Simple, Easy, and Tasty Ninja Foodi Chocolate Muffins recipes. She has traveled for years and enjoyed food everywhere from Hawaii to Italy. Now she is the muse for The Kitchen Bucket List helping us developed and create our favorite dishes to bring to all of you.

    Remember to add the water to the cooking pot before placing the Deluxe Rack and cupcakes in.

    Instructions

    1.
    Line silicone cupcake mold with cupcake liner. Set aside.
    NOTE: I lined the silicone mold with a cupcake liner as it is easier to clean. But you can also oil them or use baking spray.
    2.
    In a large mixing bowl, mix the chocolate cake mix, unbleached all-purpose flour, and chocolate chips. Mix until the chocolate chips are coated.
    3.
    Add eggs, oil, sour cream, and milk. Mix until all ingredients are combined.
    4.
    Fill the silicone cup ⅔ full. I like using a cookie scoop for this step.
    5.
    Time for the Ninja Foodi Chocolate Muffins to bake.
    Pour 3 cups of water into the Cooking Pot. 
    NOTE: The water helps the steam and makes for a perfectly moist and tender muffin.
    6.
    Place the filled cupcake mold on the Deluxe Rack, lower rack. Place the rack into the Cooking Pot.
    7.
    Close the lid and move the slider to Steam Crisp Mode and turn the dial to Steam & Bake Function. 
    NOTE: When using Steam & Bake, I have learned the steam valve’s position does not matter, as the Foodi is not in Pressure Mode.
    8.
    Set the temperature to 280 degrees F. and the timer to 15 minutes.
    7.
    Once the beeper goes off, carefully take the Deluxe Rack out and carefully take the muffins out and place them on a cooling rack.
    8.
    Wait for a few minutes then take the muffins out of the silicone cup.
    9.
    Cool completely on a cooling rack.
    10.
    Serve and Enjoy!

    Substitutions

    Substitute the chocolate chips with a favorite flavor of mint, peanut butter, or caramel, and have fun here…

    Equipment

    • Ninja Foodi XL 14-1
    • Cookie scoop: OXO large 3 tablespoons
    • Mixing Bowls
    • Silicone cups

    Storage

    They’re so good I doubt there will be a need. You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for 2 to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.

    More Sweet Treat Ideas…

    Eggnog is so easy in the Ninja Foodi with a smooth and light creamy texture. You can have this simple homemade eggnog right at your fingertips with just the right hint of vanilla. We prefer the homemade's lighter texture than the heavier store-bought. You can serve it hot or cold for a cup of Holiday Cheer with your favorite cookie. Of course, don't forget to add nutmeg for that Christmas pizazz. Yum!

    Ninja Foodi Eggnog is perfect for Santa’s little helpers. The Foodi’s low heat control gives a smooth, light, and creamy texture. It’s chilling in under 20 minutes.

    Looking for a new snack? One that is quick and easy but more importantly everyone will love. I found it, Air Fryer Chocolate Roasted Almonds. It only takes a few minutes to make, the right amount of sweetness, crunch, and the chocolate flavor will make you want to have more.

    Chocolate Roasted Almonds mixed and roasted in under 15 minutes. Now you just need to wait for these semi-sweet bites of Christmas to cool.

    Cinnamon Balls that are sweet and flaky made with biscuit dough are the perfect comfort food and a sweet treat. For breakfast or for desserts, these air fryer cinnamon balls only require a few ingredients and cook for only 5 minutes. Warm or cold, for breakfast or dessert, in one bite you can enjoy the flaky dough and sweet cinnamon crust.

    Cinnamon Balls quick, sweet, and flaky right out of the air fryer. Ideal for a Holiday breakfast or dessert.

    Mini cinnamon rolls made fresh, warm, and soft right at home in less than 1 hour. These easy air fryer mini cinnamon rolls with crescent dough are the perfect breakfast treat for everyone.

    Mini Cinnamon Rolls How nice to have these mini rolls done in less than 1 hour for the Holidays.

    • Buttery, and airy with the right amount of sweetness, these Sugar Cookies done in the Air Fryer are easy to make and everyone can help. You can bake as many as you need and put the dough back in the fridge. The whole recipe is made and cooked in under 1 hour. Leaving you with plenty of time and energy to decorate them as you like.

    • Warm and fresh Dinner Rolls right out of the Air Fryer. Imagine homemade rolls cooked in just over 10 minutes. Ready when you want them. I'm a baker at heart and I love combining it with my air fryer. This recipe can have a batch of easy dinner rolls done so quickly. We all love those warm dinner rolls served when we're out to dinner. Now you can enjoy the same thing at home. Imagine watching the butter melt on the freshly opened rolls for mealtime magic.

    • Focaccia from scratch baked in under 15-minutes in the Ninja Foodi. Can you imagine the light salty crust and airy crumb? It is like having the best French Fry you have ever had but it's bread. We could always find Focaccia straight out of the oven when we lived back in Italy. Actually, we lived in Liguria where it originated. One thing I love was how easy it was to always find it fresh at the local bakery or I should say Focacciaria. Everyone needs to experience this Italian treat in their own home without jetlag. Focaccia in the Ninja Foodi is from-scratch with a crisp crust, tender and airy crumb. Even better this focaccia is done in under an hour…half of that time is just proofing. So, now it is my turn to share with you.

    • You are going to devour these Funfetti Cookies. They have a perfectly crispy edge and a soft chewy center. Better yet it is a big cookie, that is fit for a dessert all by itself.

    • Breakfast meat on the Blackstone has been a game changer. Everything is done in one place, i.e. "one pan", more flavor, fewer dishes. Our favorites are by far bacon, sausage links, and sausage patties. Oh by the way, clean-up is a breeze.
      Blackstone Breakfast Meat
    • It is so easy to do Scrambled Eggs on the Blackstone. The best is you can make a bunch and each to order, from meat lovers to veggie. You get a wonderful texture and I find using "LOW" to one mark above lets me be able to cook various styles of eggs. It also makes it easier to add additional toppings to the scrambled eggs on the Blackstone. You are going to love the simplicity of being able to cook a full breakfast you thought only possible at a restaurant.
