Ingredients explained

🥚 2 eggs — binder and sponginess.
🥛 150 ml milk — moisture and softness.
🌿 4–5 tablespoons of oil (olive or sunflower) — softens the dough and helps it not stick.

Equipment and preparation

What you need: Medium air fryer (3–5 L), muffin cups or paper cups, large bowl, grater, spoon or whisk. Optional baking paper.

Previous preparation: Wash and grate the carrots and zucchini; finely chop pepper and onion. Measure flour, yeast, oil, milk and cheese. This speeds up the process and ensures that all the muffins are uniform and well mixed.
