Air fryer banana muffins

Air fryer banana muffins are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional oven-baked muffins. They are quick to prepare, require minimal ingredients, and are perfect for a convenient breakfast or snack. The air fryer ensures they are perfectly cooked with a soft, moist inside and a slightly crispy outside.

Ingredients:

2 bananas
240g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/3 cup brown sugar
72g
1 egg
50g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
1/3 cup buttermilk
72g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 160°C (320°F) for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare the Muffin Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas using a fork until they are smooth.
- Add the brown sugar to the mashed bananas and mix well to combine.
- Pour in the lightly beaten egg, olive oil, and buttermilk. Stir until all the wet ingredients are well combined.
- Gradually sift in the self-raising flour into the mixture. Gently fold the flour into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
3. Fill the Muffin Cups:
- Line your muffin molds with paper muffin liners or lightly grease them.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for the muffins to rise.
4. Air Fry the Muffins:
- Place the filled muffin molds into the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you might need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook the muffins at 160°C (320°F) for 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
5. Cool and Serve:
- Once the muffins are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool in the molds for a few minutes.
- Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Tips:

- Make sure to use ripe bananas for a naturally sweet taste and smoother texture.

- Don't overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins; just mix until the ingredients are combined.

- Preheat your air fryer to ensure even cooking.

- Use muffin liners or silicone molds to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

- Check for doneness with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.

- Let the muffins cool slightly before removing from the mold to prevent them from falling apart.
