Ingredients
Scale
Bananas
- 2 ripe bananas
Coating
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the bananas: Peel the bananas and place them on a cutting board. Cut each banana in half, then cut each half lengthwise to create smaller banana sections.
- Mix coating ingredients: In a small bowl, combine melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir gently until evenly mixed.
- Coat the bananas: Add the banana pieces to a bowl and gently toss or brush them with the coconut oil mixture to ensure they are thoroughly coated.
- Prepare air fryer basket: Line the bottom of your air fryer basket with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Poke a few holes in the foil or paper to allow hot air circulation.
- Air fry bananas: Arrange the coated banana pieces in a single layer on top of the foil or parchment. Set the air fryer to 375°F and cook for 5 minutes.
- Flip and finish cooking: After 5 minutes, turn the bananas over and air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until they start to caramelize and turn a golden brown color.
- Serve: Serve the warm air-fried bananas immediately, either plain or topped with ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special touch.
Notes
- This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled depending on the number of servings desired.
- Air fried bananas are best eaten immediately after cooking to enjoy their caramelized texture and flavor.
- If you do not have coconut oil and are not following a vegan or dairy-free diet, melted butter or ghee can be used as a substitute for a richer flavor.
