Dit Lugbraaier Piesangmuffins are super-simple muffins that are ready in less than 25 minutes and made with no egg and no dairy.
Ek is mal oor eenvoudige kolwyntjieresepte, soos myne Maklike bloubessie-muffins or Jogurtmuffins but I’ve never really tried to make muffins in my air fryer, so I decided to go for it. Making a recipe for the air fryer is actually quite simple, faster, and makes super-fluffy muffins.

Lugbraaier Piesangmuffins
Bestanddele

- ⅔ koppie Fyngemaakte piesang - (aantekening 2)
- ⅓ koppie Ongeraffineerde Rietsuiker - (aantekening 3)
- 3 eetlepels Sagte-geur olyfolie - (aantekening 4)
- ¼ koppie Amandelmelk - (aantekening 5)
- 1 teelepel Bakpoeier

opsioneel

- ½ teelepel Kaneel
- ⅓ koppie Gekapte okkerneute - of Pekanneut
instruksies
- You need 6 silicone muffin cups for this recipe. The recipe will not bake in muffin paper liners. Mine have little silicone handles on both sides. It makes it easy to grab the filled cups from the air fryer basket.
- Mash the banana and measure the 2/3 cup of mashed banana precisely. Place in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the oil, almond milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt if used. Stir with a fork or whisk until well combined.
- Voeg die meel, bakpoeier, koeksoda en kaneel by, indien gebruik.
- Roer met 'n houtlepel of silikoonspatel totdat die beslag konsekwent is.
- Fold in chopped nuts or chocolate chips if desired, stir to incorporate.
- Preheat the air fryer at 350 °F (180 °C) for 5 minutes, keeping the basket in the air fryer.
- Meanwhile fill each silicone muffin cup evenly with the batter.
- Open the preheated air fryer and carefully place each filled muffin cup next to each other. I fit 6 in my XXL air fryer. If you can't fit them all, set aside at room temperature and air fry just after the first batch.
- Close the basket, set the air fryer temperature to 320 °F (160 °C), and bake them for 12 minutes until they are golden brown and puffy and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the air fryer basket and let them cool down on a wire rack for 1 hour.
Notes
Voeding
Bestanddele en vervangings
You only need a handful of ingredients for this recipe, here’s how to pick them.

- Meeldoelige meel – This provides the structure for the muffins. It’s a classic choice for a light and fluffy texture. Other flours like oat or almond flour won’t work in this recipe. For a gluten-free version, use my glutenvrye omskakelingsgids.
- Fyngemaakte piesang – This adds sweetness, moisture, and a natural banana flavor. Ripe bananas are essential for sweetness and easy mashing.
- Suiker – Sweetens the muffins. You can use any granulated sugar you prefer, such as brown sugar, coconut sugar, or unrefined cane sugar, for slightly different flavor profiles.
- Ligte olyfolie – Adds moisture and richness to the muffins. Any neutral-flavored oil, such as canola oil, avocado oil, or grapeseed oil, will work well.
- Amandelmelk – Provides moisture and helps bind the ingredients. Other plant-based milks like oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk also work perfectly.
- Bakpoeier & Koeksoda – These are leavening agents that help the muffins rise and become fluffy.
- Chopped Walnuts/Pecans – They add texture and nutty flavor. You could also use other nuts, like chopped almonds or even seeds like pumpkin seeds for a different texture.
How to Make Air Fryer Banana Muffins
These muffins are probably the easiest I’ve ever made. Here’s how in pictures.

Mash the banana in a bowl, measure it, and add the liquid ingredients.

Stir in the sugar and mix until well combined.

Add the flour and the rest of the ingredients.

Combine until the batter is sticky but don’t overmix.

Transfer the batter to silicone muffin cups with an ice cream scoop.

Bake the muffins in an air fryer preheated to 320 °F (160 °C) for 12 minutes.
Carine se Bakwenke
Laat ek nog 'n paar wenke vir perfekte muffins deel.
- Kamertemperatuur bestanddele – Using room temperature almond milk and oil helps the batter combine more smoothly.
- Sagte vou – When adding the nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in gently to avoid overmixing the batter.
- Ewewigtige Beslagverspreiding – Ensure each muffin cup is filled with the same amount of batter for even cooking.
- Gebruik ryp piesangs – Ripe bananas are sweeter and easier to mash, resulting in better flavor and texture.
- Vermy oormenging – Overmixing can lead to tough muffins, so mix until just combined.
- Afkoeltyd Maak Saak – Laat die muffins heeltemal afkoel op ’n draadrakkie om te verhoed dat hulle pap word.
- Muffin Cup Placement – Place the silicone cups in the center of the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fryer Basket Spacing – Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Allow some space between the muffin cups for proper air circulation.
- Check Doneness Early – Air fryers can vary, so check for doneness a minute or two before the full baking time.
- Rotate Muffin Cups – If your air fryer cooks unevenly, rotate the muffin cups halfway through cooking.







Why doesn’t paper muffin cups work?
The muffins tend to stick more to paper liners in the airfryer.
I make these every week.,Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Dis so lekker om te hoor, dankie!
Για σου Αγαπητή μου φίλη Carine ❤️ σέ ευχαριστώ πολύ για την όμορφη συνταγή και για την καλοσύνη που μηραζις μαζί μας τής όμορφες συνταγές σού ❤️
Thank you so much for this beautiful message! Love from New Zealand, Carine
Made these – super easy really yummy.
My air fryer came with a silicone muffin
(7 cups) so I cooked those as described but they didn’t seem done – even though the toothpick came out clean. So I carefully removed them ( used a knife around the sides & lifted them out of the mold with tongs. Turned them upside down & cooked for another 3 minutes. The remaining batter I put into silicone doughnut molds- there was enough for 3. Added some of the chopped nuts on top of these. They cooked perfectly in 8 minutes. My Sunday School friends loved them. Will definitely make again ❤️
Dankie dat jy my resepte probeer het!
Hi Carine, thanks for this fabulous recipe! Unfortunately we don’t have plant-based milk, but cow milk seems to work just as well. Can O add some chopped dates instead of nuts or choc chips? Kind regards, Christelle
Hi Christelle, you can absolutely swap nuts for chopped dates, or chocolate chips or a mix of both, it will be delicious. You can use any kind of milk in my recipes.
Hi, could you recommend a good air fryer. What brand do you have please?
Vrou
Sure! I love my tefal XXL, it has a large basket perfect to bake muffins.
How would you make this in the oven, if that’s an option?
You can absolutely bake them in a regular muffin pan. Line the 6-hole of the muffin pan with oiled paper liners. Fill each evenly and bake in preheated oven 350F(180C), in the center rack for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of one muffin come out clean. Enjoy.
Delicious recipe. I did make this with Bob’s Red Mill 1to1 Gluten Free baking flour. Muffins are light and fluffy!
I am so happy your reported back on a gluten-free option, it will help others. Thank you.
