Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 190 g (1 ½ cups) flour plain / all purpose
- 135 g (⅔ cup) light brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet ingredients
- 300 g (1 ½ cups) mashed bananas, 3 medium
- 1 large egg
- 85 g (6 tbsp) unsalted butter , melted (see note 1)
- 80 g (1/3 cup) natural yogurt or buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional additions
- 80 g (½ cup) chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Add all the dry ingredients – flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon and salt – into a large mixing bowl, stirring with a small whisk to combine.
- Mash the bananas using a fork or simply blitz them in a food processor. Combine the mashed bananas with the egg, melted butter, yogurt and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir together to combine. Do not over mix – use a light folding motion until the batter comes together and no streaks of flour remain. Fold in any additional ingredients such as chopped nuts, fresh blueberries or chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter between 10 large paper muffin cases, filling about halfway up. Make sure to double or triple the paper cases to make sure they are sturdy enough to hold the batter. Alternatively you can use silicone muffin cases which are perfect for air fryer baking.
- Preheat the air fryer to 170°C (340°F). Place the muffins in the air fryer basket, spaced slightly apart to allow the air to circulate evenly. Bake, in batches if needed, for 22-25 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool.
- These banana muffins are delicious served slightly warm – perfect with a cup of coffee or tea!
