Air Fryer Banana Bread Muffins
Description
This recipe utilizes ripe mashed bananas, egg, sugar, olive oil, cinnamon, and vanilla extract mixed with flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt to form a batter. Chopped walnuts and chocolate chips provide crunch and sweetness. Cooking the batter in muffin forms inside a preheated air fryer at 320°F for about 17 minutes yields evenly cooked banana muffins with a tender crumb and lightly browned tops.
Due to the air fryer's rapid browning, adjusting the cooking temperature or covering muffins with foil can prevent over-browning while ensuring thorough bake. Paper or silicone muffin liners rated for at least 400°F are suitable. Variety in nuts and spices is possible, allowing customization of flavor. Muffins with fruit content require proper storage to avoid drying or mold.
The muffins are a convenient snack or breakfast item, easily portioned and ready within minutes using an air fryer, making them suitable for small batches and quick preparation.
Ingredients
- 3 banana mashed using the back of a fork, over-ripe
- 1 egg medium-sized
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup olive oil
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- salt pinch
- ½ walnuts or your preferred nuts, chopped
- ½ chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer at a temperature of 320°F (160°C) for 5 minutes.
- Combine the mashed bananas, egg, sugar, olive oil, cinnamon and vanilla extract in a bowl.
- Sprinkle the all-purpose flour, baking powder, pinch of salt, and baking soda on top, then fold to mix. Add the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips then combine.
- Divide the batter equally into muffin forms and carefully place these inside your air fryer basket. Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Notes
- If muffins brown too quickly, lower the air fryer temperature and cover with foil to prevent over-browning.
- Use paper or silicone liners that withstand at least 400°F for easy cleanup and to maintain muffin shape.
- Substitute or add nuts and dried fruits like pecans, cranberries, or raisins for flavor variations.
- Adjust spices such as cinnamon to pumpkin spice or nutmeg according to taste preferences.
- For a paleo-friendly version, use cassava flour, coconut sugar, and coconut oil in place of all-purpose flour, sugar, and butter.
- Note that subsequent batches may cook faster as the air fryer remains hot.
- Store muffins properly to prevent molding or drying out because they contain fruit.
