Ingredients
- 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup whole grain oat flour , or use all purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, well beaten
- ½ cup salted butter, melted
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Prep. Prepare silicone muffin liner. I usually don’t spray them with oil.
- Combine dry ingredients. Mash bananas in a bowl, add sugar, melted butter, beaten eggs, vanilla extract and mix to combine.
- Add dry ingredients. Add flour, baking powder and baking soda to the wet ingredients, then mix to combine.
- Divide between muffin cups and air fry. Scoop batter into prepared muffin liners and bake in air fryer at 330°F for 12-14 mins or until tooth pick comes out clean.
- Preheating air fryer is not necessary here but you can do it, the baking time will be less, just keep an eye on the muffins and for doneness, test with a toothpick.
- Allow to cool. After baking, take the muffins out of the oven and allow them to cool in the tins for a brief period. Later, transfer them to a wire rack, letting them cool entirely before indulging in your freshly baked homemade banana muffins!
- This recipe makes 12 muffins. I baked these air fryer muffins in two rounds, 6 muffins at a time.
Notes
- 🍱To Store at room temperature. For optimal storage, place your muffins in an airtight container at room temperature, where they can stay fresh for a few days.
- To Refrigerate. Once the muffins have completely cooled down, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They'll stay fresh for up to 5 days.
- 🥶Freezing. After they've cooled completely, place them in an airtight container and freeze for up to a month. To consume, thaw the muffins overnight in the refrigerator and then bring them to room temperature on the counter before eating.
- 🔥To Reheat in the Microwave. Reheat the muffins in the microwave by using 10-second intervals until they are warmed through to your liking.
- To Reheat in Air Fryer. Set the air fryer to 350°F and reheat the muffins for 1 to 2 minutes until they reach the desired temperature.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Prepare Batter: Mix the ingredients according to the recipe below until you achieve a smooth batter.
- Fill Muffin Tins: Scoop the prepared batter into 12 lined muffin tins, distributing it evenly among them.
- Bake: Place the muffin tins into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 18 to 20 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean (with no wet batter sticking to it), the muffins are ready.
- Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tins for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before enjoying your homemade oven-baked banana bread muffins.
