Mixed berry muffins are moist, fluffy, and full of fresh Summer berries and these can be made in your air fryer! Frozen berries can be used as well with only 5 smart points per muffin. Serve them with some eggs and sausage on the side for a low point breakfast.
Here's another breakfast recipe that requires hardly any eggs. Well, this recipe calls for 1 egg but there is always a work around for that. One great substitute for eggs is using unsweetened applesauce. You can definitely use that here.
4 1 large egg sub ¼ cup of unsweetened applesauce
The first time making these muffins I pretty much nailed it. The batter was sweet, lemony, and they were originally going to be lemon poppy seed muffins. I didn’t feel like going to the store just for poppy seeds and my freezer had some frozen mixed berries so in that went. Lemon and berries were a food match made in heaven. Guys, these are so good and now I just want to eat the whole entire batch.

How to Make Air Fryer Muffins

- Place the muffin-filled basket into the air fryer and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the air fryer and let them cool before serving. Enjoy your delicious air fryer muffins!
Real Sugar vs Artificial Sweeteners
I use real sugar in this recipe and these muffins are 5 points each. Some of you might ask me if you can use a sugar substitute to help lower these points and if you want to do that then go ahead. I’m not familiar with the different sugar substitute ratios and I have literally tried to bake with them until I found out that certain ones like Xylitol and Stevia upset my stomach. I would do a quick online search to see how much each is.
I prefer baked sweets to have real sugar in them and it is OK to have these type of treats every now and then.

Recipe FAQS
