Ingredients
- 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.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
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.
4. Add Optional Mix-Ins: If using any mix-ins like nuts or blueberries, gently fold them into the batter now.
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.
