- Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave or over the hob in a saucepan on a low heat.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Place the bananas on some foil with a few holes poked in it, in a shape that will fit in your air fryer.
- Using a pastry brush, coat the bananas with the melted butter.
- Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon over the bananas.
- Lift the foil with the bananas on it and place in the air fryer basket.

Notes
Tips & Tricks
- Using foil helps to keep the mess to a minimum, just remember to poke a few holes in it to let the air circulate. Alternatively, you can use these air fryer liners.
- Use ripe bananas that are yellow in colour. If they are over-ripe & covered in black spots they will become mushy when cooked. If the bananas are green you will find they won’t be as sweet or soften as well,
- You can also slice the banana into rounds if you prefer. Just pour the melted butter into a bowl, add the bananas, then toss the banana circles in the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
- All air fryers cook at a different speed, so keep an eye on them and take them out when they are crunchy and golden in colour.
