Learn how to make these homemade Air Fryer Banana Muffins with this delicious and easy recipe. Made with fresh bananas and in less than 10 minutes!
I love banana muffins and these homemade Air Fryer Banana Muffins are my new favorite snack.
Do you know what makes banana muffins the best? Using ripe bananas!
Why Use Ripe Bananas for Muffins?
Banana muffins are made with ripe bananas which gives the muffins a sweeter flavor than using fresh bananas. The riper the fruit, the more the fructose, sucrose, and glucose are increased which makes the fruit sweeter.
Another one of my favorite muffins to make is Air Fryer Blueberry Muffins. So good!
I love making muffins in the air fryer. They're super easy with silicone liners and made fast!

Can you use the foil cupcake liners or would they collapse? They look delicious!
I have only ever used the silicone liners and never used the foil liners so I am not sure. I would think if you were able to double or triple them they would stay sturdy enough for you to fill them halfway or so without collapsing.
I change my rating!! Lol I put them in much longer but at 325 and they are delicious!!
Thank you! Yes, air fryer can have different wattages and even elevations can change the cooking times. So glad you enjoyed them!
Could you post a link to the silicone molds please. Thanks!

Just made these today,,, It took about 15 minutes to bake,, using the same fryer you said you have. I did put 2 bananas in but they were large, They came out good though, very tasty.
I am glad these turned out well for you! The only suggestion I could think of is "were they ripe, and did you mash them well?" Either way, I am glad they worked out for you! Also, sometimes altitude comes into play when you are baking. I am at sea level, so if you're at a higher altitude, that could be a little issue as well. Usually, a higher altitude can take a little less time when baking.
