Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 bananas
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into halves or thick rounds, depending on your preference, to ensure even cooking in the air fryer.
- Mix the Spices and Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This spice mixture will add a warm, aromatic flavor to the bananas.
- Coat the Bananas: Melt the butter and lightly brush or toss the banana slices in the melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with the spice and sugar mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for about 3 minutes.
- Air Fry the Bananas: Place the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the bananas are golden brown and caramelized, flipping halfway through if needed for even cooking.
- Serve: Carefully remove the bananas from the air fryer and serve warm as is, or topped with ice cream or yogurt for an extra special treat.
Notes
- You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar or maple syrup for different flavors.
- For a vegan version, use coconut oil instead of butter.
- Be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Enjoy immediately for best texture and flavor, as bananas may become soft upon cooling.
