Are muffins basically cupcakes? What is the difference between muffins and cupcakes?

There are a few differences between muffins and cupcakes. Some of the differences between muffins and cupcakes can be found here. I hope these points have answered your questions.

Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Carrot Muffins:

  • For this recipe, try to use fresh carrots. Fresh carrots are more delicious and moister than frozen carrots.
  • Use a food processor to grate the carrots or grate them with your hands.
  • Instead of brown sugar, you can use honey or maple syrup.
  • A silicone cup or a paper cup can be used. If you’re filling the batter in a paper cup instead of a pan, make sure to double the cup size.
  • If a clean toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean, the muffins are done.
  • The muffins are usually served without frosting, but you can add them if you want.
