Instructions

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.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon, if used.
Stir with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until the batter is consistent.
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.

Equipment

Notes

Note 1: The recipe will not work with oat flour or almond flour. I didn't try all-purpose gluten-free flour, I can't guarantee the outcome will be similar.

Note 2: Make sure you measure the amount of mashed banana packing the amount in measuring cups to get 2/3 cups.

Note 3: Any sugar can be used, like brown sugar, coconut sugar, or unrefined cane sugar

Note 4: Any light flavor oil works.

Note 5: Any milk, like oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk works.

Storage: Store the muffins at room temperature for up to 3 days or up to 5 days in the fridge in a sealed container. They can also be frozen in Ziploc bags and thawed the day before at room temperature.
