There is something so comforting about warm fruit, and these caramelized bananas are my favorite way to satisfy a sweet craving. They turn soft and sugary in the air fryer without needing a stove or a big mess in the kitchen.

I love making these when I want a quick dessert after a busy day. If you have extra ripe bananas sitting on your counter, this is the perfect way to use them up before they get too mushy.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Peel the bananas and slice them into thick rounds, or slice them in half lengthwise if you prefer.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

  4. 4

    Place the banana pieces in a single layer on a piece of parchment paper or directly into the air fryer basket.

  5. 5

    Brush the cinnamon and sugar mixture generously over the tops of the banana slices.

  6. 6

    Air fry for 5 to 7 minutes until the bananas are soft and the sugar has melted into a bubbly, golden glaze.

  7. 7

    Carefully remove the bananas and serve them warm.

💡 Tips

These are delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt. If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day, though they are definitely best enjoyed fresh.
