Ninja Foodi Chocolate Muffins
Fluffy, airy, and light using a cake mix is a convenient hack for delicious chocolate cake mix muffins. The Kitchen Bucket List loves making these muffins even more chocolatey with chocolate chips too.
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Cookie scoop (Large 3 tablespoons)
- Mixing Bowls
- Silicone cups
Ingredients
- 1 chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 eggs
- ¼ cup olive oil (Or vegetable oil)
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ½ cup milk
Instructions
- 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.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the chocolate cake mix, unbleached all-purpose flour, and chocolate chips. Mix until the chocolate chips are coated.
- Add eggs, oil, sour cream, and milk. Mix until all ingredients are combined.
- Fill the silicone cup ⅔ full, I like using a cookie scoop for this step.
- For the Ninja Foodi, pour 3 cups of water into the Cooking Pot.NOTE: This is what makes the Steam & Bake Function work and makes for a perfectly moist and tender muffin.
- Place the filled cupcake mold on the Deluxe Rack's lower rack, then place it into the Cooking Pot.
- For the Ninja Foodi, close the lid, 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.
- Set the temperature to 280℉ and the timer to 15 minutes.
- Once the beeper goes off, carefully take the Deluxe Rack out and carefully take the muffins out and place them on a cooling rack.
- Wait for a few minutes then take the muffins out of the silicone cup.
- Cool completely on a cooling rack.
- Serve and Enjoy!
Notes
For the Ninja Foodi, it takes an additional 15 minutes to bring the water up to temperature during Steam & Bake.
