**Tools:**

**Ingredients:**
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)

**Instructions:**

1. **Prepare the Air Fryer:**
   - Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C).

2. **Mix Dry Ingredients:**
   - In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.

3. **Mix Wet Ingredients:**

4. **Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:**
   - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

5. **Prepare Blueberries:**
   - In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 2 tablespoons of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.

7. **Air Fry the Muffins:**

8. **Cool and Serve:**
   - Allow the muffins to cool in the silicone cups for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
