Ingredients
Equipment
Steps
- 1
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- 2
In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla, then pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- 3
Fold in chocolate chips or blueberries if desired.
- 4
Spray silicone muffin molds with cooking spray and fill each cavity about two-thirds full with batter.
- 5
Air fry at 350°F for 10-12 minutes until golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
- 6
Let cool for 2 minutes before removing from molds and serving with maple syrup.
Tip: Don't overmix the batter — a few lumps are fine and will result in fluffier pancake bites. Silicone molds work best here because they flex easily for removal.

- 🌡️Concentrated heat circulation produces even browning and a crispier crust than a full-size oven.
