Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
2 ripe bananas
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (optional for fluffiness)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional for added flavor)
Pinch of salt
Cooking spray or a small amount of oil for greasing
Instructions:
Prepare the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat for about 3 minutes.
Grease the Molds:
Lightly grease silicone muffin cups or small ramekins with cooking spray or oil.
Fill the Molds:
Pour the banana-egg mixture evenly into the prepared molds, filling each about 3/4 full.
Air Fry:
Place the molds in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the cakes are set and lightly golden on top.
Cool and Serve:
Let the cakes cool slightly before removing them from the molds. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Tips & Tricks:
Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness.
Add a splash of vanilla extract or a handful of mini chocolate chips for extra flavor.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
