Should I Use Pumpkin Puree or Pumpkin Pie Filling?
Since the grocery store sells two different pumpkin varieties, one of the most general queries is which one to use in baked pumpkin items. Although they seem similar, pumpkin puree and pumpkin filling are not the same. Depending on the brand, pumpkin puree is simply cooked pumpkin mixed without any spices or additives. While the filling for pumpkin pie is sweetened and spices are added, it is primarily used for pumpkin pie. Therefore, this recipe calls for pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
Which Muffin Pans Should I Use?
I bought these individual muffin molds, so I didn’t have to worry about whether they’d fit in my air fryer when I bought them. You can, however, make this recipe with a standard muffin pan. Before buying it, check that they fit perfectly in the air fryer.
Can I Make Some Additions & Changes In Ingredients?
Yes, you can surely make some great additions in its flavor according to your liking; for example, you can turn them into air fryer chocolate chip pumpkin muffins by simply folding in 1 cup of chocolate chips with a spatula and continuing with the rest of the recipe as written. Top the muffins with vanilla or cream cheese frosting if you want to go all out.
How to Store Them?
Keep leftover air-fried muffins in an airtight jar lined with paper towels at room temperature for no more than 4 days. The paper towel can soak up any condensation, allowing your muffins to last longer. I don’t advocate refrigerating them because the texture may alter.
