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.
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 160°C (320°F) for about 5 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
