FAQs
What type of air fryer do you need for this recipe?
The Air Fryer I used for this recipe was the Cosori 5.8 quart air fryer. 8 minutes was the perfect amount of cook time in this air fryer for these banana muffins. If you have a different brand of air fryer, you may need to add or take away time to ensure this cooks correctly. Remember, all air fryers cook a little differently.
Can you add other ingredients to these banana muffins?
You can add all your favorite fruit! A family favorite in our house is to add some peanut butter chips or chocolate chips to the batter for an extra boost of flavor! We also like to drizzle some maple syrup on the top of the muffins.
