Air Fryer Banana Oat Muffins

Who says you can’t have a healthy and delicious breakfast quickly? With air fryer banana oat muffins, you just mix the ingredients, fill the muffin cups, and cook them at 320°F for about 17 minutes. Trust me, it’s straightforward and yields scrumptious results every time!

  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats – use gluten-free if necessary
  • 2 ripe bananas – the riper, the sweeter
  • 2 large eggs – substitute with flax eggs for a vegan option
  • 1/4 cup honey – or substitute with maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt – use dairy-free yogurt to make it vegan
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • Optional mix-ins: nuts, chocolate chips, or blueberries

Instructions

1. Preparation of Ingredients: Start by preheating your air fryer to 320°F (160°C). In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.

3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Whisk the eggs, honey, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt into the mashed bananas until well blended. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients with a spatula, mixing just until combined. Remember, overmixing can result in dense muffins.

5. Prepare Muffin Cups: Line the air fryer basket with muffin liners or lightly grease it if using silicone cups. Fill each cup about three-quarters full with the batter.

6. Cooking: Place the filled muffin cups in the air fryer basket. Cook for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

7. Cooling: Remove the muffins from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps them set and makes them easier to remove from the cups.

Notes

Ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. Air circulation is key to achieving evenly cooked and textured muffins.
