Ingredients
Scale
Banana Mixture
- 1 large banana
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Peel the banana and slice it into ½ inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking and optimal caramelization.
- Melt the Butter: In a medium bowl, melt the butter in the microwave until fully liquid, preparing a base to coat the bananas.
- Coat the Bananas: Add the banana slices, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the melted butter. Stir gently to evenly coat the banana slices with the butter and spices, enhancing their flavor.
- Air Fry the Bananas: Grease the air fryer basket lightly, then arrange the coated banana slices in a single layer to allow for even air circulation. Cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 minutes until golden and caramelized.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas for best texture and sweetness.
- Greasing the air fryer basket prevents sticking and helps with caramelization.
- Serve warm as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or ice cream.
- Adjust cinnamon and brown sugar quantities based on personal sweetness preference.
- Can be doubled or tripled for larger servings, just air fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
