Instructions

Prepare the Bananas:
- Peel and slice bananas into ½-inch thick rounds or cut them lengthwise in half for larger pieces.
Coat the Bananas:
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter (or coconut oil), honey (or maple syrup), cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
- Gently toss the banana slices in the mixture, coating them evenly.
Air Fry the Bananas:
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket (use parchment paper for easy cleanup).
- Air fry for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and caramelized.
Serve & Enjoy:
- Serve warm as-is, or add to oatmeal, pancakes, yogurt, or ice cream.

Notes

Use firmer bananas to prevent them from becoming too mushy.
Add a pinch of sea salt for a sweet-salty flavor.
Sprinkle with chopped nuts or drizzle with melted chocolate for extra indulgence.
