What is the difference between an air fryer and a convection oven?

You will want to start checking your muffins around the 10-minute mark. They will cook anywhere from 10-14 minutes. You will know when your muffins are done by sticking a toothpick in the center of the muffins, and they come out clean from the wet batter. Sometimes you might poke a blueberry, giving you a blue tinge, which is okay.

Be careful when you use paper muffin cups because they can move into the heating element and catch fire if they move around. It is better to invest in silicone muffin cups.
