Ingredients

To make this easy air fryer banana muffin recipe with no eggs, you will need ripe bananas, ones whose skin has turned dark or has a lot of dark spots.

All-purpose flour, milk, sugar, oil, vanilla extract, and vinegar are used along with some baking soda and baking powder as a leavening agent.

I have used semi-sweet chocolate chips to make these chocolate banana muffins in the air fryer.

How to make

In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer bowl, mash the ripe bananas with the help of a fork or a potato masher. Then add all the wet and dry ingredients in the bowl except the walnuts.

With the help of a wire attachment mix all the ingredients at medium speed. Add the chocolate chips and mix them gently with a spatula.

Transfer the banana muffin batter into muffin molds to ⅔rd capacity each. I have used the silicone muffin holders with tabs that make them easy to handle.

Place the muffin molds in the air fryer basket carefully. Select the air fry setting and air fry the banana muffins for about 12 minutes at the temperature of 320°F.

You can insert a toothpick at the center of the muffin to check for doneness. If it comes out clean, banana muffins are done, or you can air fry for a few more minutes.

Step-by-step instructions

Step 1: Gather banana muffin ingredients.

Step 2: Mash bananas with a fork.

Step 3: Mix all ingredients well.

Step 4: Add and mix chocolate chips.

Step 5: Pour the batter into the muffin molds and place them in the air fryer basket.

Step 6: Air fry banana muffins at 320°F for 12 minutes.

Substitutions

Plant-based milk - to make it vegan use almond milk or any other plant-based milk.
Brown sugar - use brown sugar instead of cane sugar.
Nuts - use pecans instead of walnuts

Variations

Nuts - add some chopped walnuts or pecans instead of chocolate chips to make banana nut muffins.

Equipment

To make the banana muffin batter, a stand mixer with a wire attachment helps in mixing well. You can also use a hand blender with a whisk attachment or a hand mixer.

I have made the muffins in silicone muffin molds just like these air fryer vanilla cupcakes. Depending on the air fryer, and the size of the basket, you may have to air fry the muffins in multiple batches.

Storage

Banana muffins can be stored at room temperature for 3-4 days in an airtight container.

Top tip

To check if the banana muffins are done, insert a toothpick at the center of the muffin and see if it comes out clean, that means it is well cooked. Else you can air fry it for a few more minutes.

FAQ

Can I use paper muffin cups in my air fryer?

If you are using a muffin pan then you can use paper muffin liners or silicone muffin cases in the air fryer.
