Air Fryer Banana Nut Muffins

`

If I could change one thing about our house it would be the kitchen. We have a small kitchen. I do not have counter space or storage for gadgets and I have donated several items in the past few months. Things that I did not use often. As a result, I no longer have a bread maker, air fryer, or toaster, among other things. 

Savannah raves about her air fryer. I got rid of mine because I was never a big fan. However, Savannah’s is the basket style, and my old one wasn’t. I wasn’t sure the basket would make a big difference, but on a whim I bought a new one. Oh my gosh, I am such a fan!

I am now using the air fryer daily, it seems. It heats up fast, and everything I have tried has been excellent.

One of my favorite things to do is make this small batch of muffins. They taste amazing and using silicone cupcake liners that I found on Amazon they are super easy!

For a change add a handful or chocolate chips or blueberries.

Equipment

• Air Fryer

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
• 2 tablespoons avocado or canola oil
• 1 large egg beaten
• 1/3 cup buttermilk
• 1 ripe banana mashed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts optional

Instructions

• Preheat the air fryer to 400℉.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, set aside.
• In another bowl whisk melted butter, oil and egg. Add the buttermilk, banana, vanilla and sugar. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir just to combine.
• Fold in the nuts.
• Scoop muffin mix into seven silicone muffin liners and place in the air fryer. (My air fryer is large enough to accommodate a 9-inch cake pan. I place the silicone liners in the pan and then place in the air fryer with tongs and remove with tongs.)
• Bake at 400℉ for 4 minutes. Lower temperature to 325℉ and bake an additional 11 - 13 minutes.
• Remove from air fryer and cool to touch.
