03 - Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and blend thoroughly.
04 - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined to avoid overmixing.
05 - Gently fold semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter for even distribution.
06 - Lightly grease or line six silicone muffin cups to prevent sticking.

09 - Preheat air fryer to 320°F and allow to warm for 3 minutes before cooking.
