Description
These air fryer caramelized bananas are the ultimate quick treat for anyone craving a warm, buttery, and cinnamon-spiced dessert that comes together in under ten minutes. By using the air fryer, the brown sugar and butter bubble together to create a perfectly golden, sticky coating on each banana slice. It is a simple, gourmet-style comfort food that serves as an excellent topping for pancakes or a standalone indulgence paired with vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
2 medium bananas
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice into uniform 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Melt the butter in a small bowl.
In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Add the banana slices to the butter, then toss them in the sugar-spice mixture until evenly coated.
Place the coated banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper.
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes until tender and caramelized.
Notes
Use firm, ripe bananas to prevent them from becoming too mushy during cooking. Serve warm immediately. Can be served over Greek yogurt or vanilla ice cream for a decadent finish.
