    Air Fryer Caramelized Bananas With Cinnamon Topping

    I love roasting bananas in the Air fryer. The Air fryer turns the starch (that's essentially sugar) in the bananas to a delicious caramel flavor.

    These Air fried bananas have a crunchy cinnamon topping made with brown sugar, breadcrumbs and cinnamon. And they are stuffed with mini chocolate chips because, why not? Bananas pair well with cinnamon and chocolate and this is what all the delicious things are made of. Am I right?

    This Air fryer banana dessert tastes amazing served with Vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of Dulce de leche. They can be whipped up in just 10 minutes. I'm amazed at how easy it is, to turn bananas into these fancy budget-friendly dessert in just minutes. This is one dessert your whole family will love and ask for seconds. And you won't even mind it.

    Serve these Air fryer bananas with your oatmeal, pancake or Greek yogurt for a delicious breakfast. They're great as a quick and easy snack served on their own.

    If you love making fruit desserts in the Air fryer, check out Air Fryer Pineapple, or for chocolate desserts, Air fryer Brownies, and Air fryer Lava Cakes. I love all things chocolate and cookies so I make Chocolate chip cookies in the Air fryer too.

    Why we love to make Air fryer bananas:

    • Quick and easy -takes only 10 minutes
    • Crunchy cinnamon topping
    • Melted chocolate with every bite
    • Absolutely delicious fancy dessert

    Ingredients and Notes

    • Ripe bananas - use ripe firm bananas that have a yellow skin and a few black spots. You don't want to use overripe bananas as they won't hold shape and will become mushy easily.
    • Melted butter - to brush on top of the bananas for the crunchy cinnamon coating to stick
    • Brown sugar - use brown sugar for the caramely flavor
    • Bread crumbs - what makes it crunchy
    • Cinnamon
    • Chocolate chips - use mini chocolate chips. They can be stuffed easily inside the banana. Chopped chocolate can also be used.

    Stuff the mini chocolate chips in the bananas into the slit you made. You can gently move the flesh apart to make it easier to push the chocolate chips in. Take care not to break the banana. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top.

    Line the Air fryer basket with parchment paper and place the banana halves in. I line the basket for easy clean-up if any mishaps were to occur.
