Instructions

Make the buttermilk: Mix milk and vinegar in a small bowl; let stand for 5 minutes until curdled.
Preheat the air fryer to 190°C (375°F) and line 8 muffin molds with liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, oil, egg, and vanilla. Mix in sugar.
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into wet mixture. Gently fold until just combined; batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
Fold in 1 cup of chopped strawberries.
Divide batter among molds. Top with remaining strawberries, almond slices, and sprinkle sugar.
Air fry at 190°C for 13–14 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if needed.
Cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

Can use frozen strawberries if thawed and drained.
Any neutral oil works; sunflower or canola is ideal.
For eggless muffins, replace the egg with ¼ cup yogurt or applesauce.
