Ingredients:

1. two mashed, ripe bananas
2. Half a cup of applesauce without sugar
3. 1/4 cup Greek yogurt without fat
4. 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
5. One huge egg
6. One teaspoon of vanilla extract
7. One cup of whole wheat or all-purpose flour
8. One teaspoon of baking soda
9. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon
10. A dash of salt
11. Spray for cooking

Directions:

• Warm up the air fryer. As you prepare the muffin batter, start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F (180°C) and let it warm up.
• Get the batter ready: The mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), unsweetened applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract should all be combined in a mixing dish. Stir until thoroughly blended.
• To combine the dry ingredients, mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and a bit of salt together in a another bowl until they are all evenly combined.
• Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Stir the wet mixture until a homogeneous batter develops, then gradually add the dry ingredients. Take care not to mix too much.

Get the muffin cups ready:

To keep the muffin cups in your muffin tin from sticking, lightly spray them with cooking spray.
Fill the Cups: Using a spoon, fill each muffin cup almost two-thirds of the way to the top with batter. By doing this, the muffins will rise uniformly while baking.
Optional Toppings: Before baking, sprinkle chopped nuts or dark chocolate chips on top of each muffin for an added flavor boost.
Air Fry: Make sure there is enough room between each muffin tin cup as you carefully set it within the air fryer basket. A toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin should come out clean after 12 to 15 minutes of cooking.
Cool and Serve: After a few minutes of cooling in the air fryer, move the muffins to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy the delicious aroma and these delicious banana muffins once they have cooled!
