Transform ripe bananas into a surprisingly delicious and healthy snack or dessert with these easy air fryer banana treats! Golden brown, slightly caramelized, and wonderfully tender inside with crispy edges, they’re a quick, guilt-free indulgence the whole family will adore.

  • Total Time: 0 hours
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe but firm bananas
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or unsalted butter, melted)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt (optional, enhances flavor)
  • Optional for serving: honey, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, or ice cream

Instructions

  1. Peel bananas and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. In a medium bowl, gently toss the banana slices with melted coconut oil (or butter) until evenly coated.
  2. In a small separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt (if using). Sprinkle this mixture over the oiled banana slices and toss gently until each piece is coated.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes. Arrange the seasoned banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd it. You may need to cook in batches.
  4. Air fry for 8-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through (around the 4-6 minute mark), until the bananas are golden brown, slightly caramelized, and tender. Cooking time may vary based on your air fryer model and banana ripeness.
  5. Carefully remove the crispy air fryer banana bites from the basket and serve warm. Enjoy them plain or with your favorite toppings like a drizzle of honey, chocolate syrup, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

For the best air fryer banana treats, use ripe but firm bananas – overly mushy ones tend to fall apart. These treats are best enjoyed immediately. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, but they will lose their crispiness. Reheat briefly in the air fryer for a minute or two to warm through. For flavor variations, add a tiny pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar mix for extra warmth.
