    air fryer muffins step 6

    Hint: Always preheat your air fryer like an oven. You must always remove any left over tidbits before usage for best results. If you find your cakes lopsided or uneven in an air fryer. You should rotate the muffin cups mid way as that is due to air flow.

    Substitutions

    • You can add flax seeds as an egg replacer for vegan option. Others can add egg if required. Generally mashed banana is a good egg replacer. Hence, you do not need egg in this recipe.
    • You can substitute self raising all purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
    • You can use paper muffin cases or muffin tin instead of ramekins however there are high chances that the batter will tip over in the plain paper cases. The other option is to use silicone muffin cases but I do not like that personally, hence I stick to paper cups or ramekins .
    • You can also use brown sugar in place of raw sugar for air fryer banana bread muffins , however if you are vegan then avoid brown sugar or white sugar.

    Variations

    • You can garnish cake with walnuts, pecans, almonds or raisins. If you want to make nut-free muffins, you can add some tutti frutti or candied fruit or chocolate chips for garnish. Serve this easy recipe with ice cream for a delicious treat.

    Equipment

    • air fryer
    • hand mixer / stand mixer
    • potato masher ( or fork to mash bananas)
    • large mixing bowl
    • muffin liners / silicon liners / paper muffin cups
    • muffin pan

    Storage

    Store the banana muffin is an airtight container or a plastic wrap for 3-5 days. Always warm before you serve. You can also freeze them in a freezer bag.

    Top tip

    You can add few drops of vanilla extract or a teaspoon cinnamon powder or cocoa powder if you find banana flavor overpowering.

    FAQ

    Can you add eggs in place of chia seed ?

    You can replace ⅓ cup water and 1 tablespoon chia seed with 1 egg , if you are not vegan.
