Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe but firm bananas
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil (melted)

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prep the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them evenly, about half an inch thick. Uniform slices help them cook consistently in the air fryer for that perfect caramelized texture.
  2. Coat with Cinnamon Mixture: In a small bowl, mix cinnamon with melted butter or oil and optionally add brown sugar or maple syrup. Toss banana slices gently in this mixture so each piece gets a lovely cinnamon glaze.
  3. Arrange in the Air Fryer Basket: Place the coated banana slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking. Avoid overcrowding to allow enough air flow around each piece.
  4. Air Fry to Perfection: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook the bananas for about 5 to 7 minutes. Keep an eye on them as they cook, flipping halfway for even caramelization and a perfectly golden finish.
  5. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Once done, gently transfer the bananas to a plate and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture. They’re delicious warm with a soft center and a lightly crispy, cinnamony exterior.

Notes

  • Choose ripe but firm bananas for best texture without mushiness.
  • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed.
  • Watch cooking time carefully; start checking after 4 minutes as models vary.
  • If using syrup, drizzle it after cooking for a glossy finish.
  • Use perforated parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
