Air Fryer Mini Chocolate Chip Cakes
Who says you need a conventional oven to bake something sweet? These air fryer mini chocolate chip cakes are soft, moist and wonderfully sweet, made using a Betty Crocker chocolate chip muffin mix and baked in individual aluminium mini loaf tins. They rose beautifully during baking, creating lovely little cakes that are perfect for enjoying with a glass of milk or a nice cup of tea. With just 10 minutes of preparation and 15 minutes of cooking, they're an easy treat for anyone with a sweet tooth.

Ingredients
- 1 full packet Betty Crocker chocolate chip muffin mix
- 175 ml water
- 50 ml vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
Method
- 01
Place the Betty Crocker chocolate chip muffin mix into a mixing bowl.
- 02
Add 175 ml water, 50 ml vegetable oil and 2 eggs.
- 03
Mix the ingredients according to the muffin mix packet instructions until the batter is ready.
- 04
Divide the batter evenly between six disposable aluminium mini loaf tins, each approximately 200 ml in capacity. Fill each tin halfway or less to leave room for the cakes to rise.
- 05
Arrange the filled tins inside the COSORI TwinFry FlexDrawer GrandZone.
- 06
Select BAKE mode and set the temperature to 165°C. Bake for 15 minutes. No preheating was used.
- 07
Check the cakes using a skewer. During my cooking session, the skewer came out clean after 15 minutes.
- 08
Allow the cakes to cool before serving.
The cakes rose well above the rims of the tins without the batter spilling or overflowing. Every muffin mix and air fryer is different, so the rise and baking time may vary; always check with a skewer.

Lackie's Notes
Equipment: COSORI TwinFry FlexDrawer GrandZone air fryer, 6 disposable aluminium mini loaf tins (approximately 200 ml each), a mixing bowl, a mixing utensil and a skewer for checking doneness.
Do not overfill the aluminium tins. Halfway or less leaves room for the batter to rise.
Use the BAKE setting where available on your air fryer.
Check the cakes for doneness with a skewer.
Allow the cakes to cool before serving. Once cooled, they are soft, moist and sweet, which makes them a good choice for anyone who enjoys sweeter bakes, including children.
Cooking results may vary depending on the air fryer and muffin mix used. Air Fryer Baking for Beginners has more general baking guidance.
