Steps to follow:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
3. Add the vegetable oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas, and mix well.
4. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. If desired, fold in the chocolate chips or chopped nuts.

Tricks and tips:

• For added flavor, try sprinkling a little cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter.
• Don't overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
• If you don't have ripe bananas on hand, you can ripen them quickly by baking in the air fryer for 15 minutes at 300°F (150°C).

Benefits of the ingredients used:

Bananas are a great source of potassium and fiber. They also provide natural sweetness to the muffins without the need for excessive added sugar. Additionally, using vegetable oil instead of butter keeps the muffins moist and tender.

We hope you enjoy making and savoring these delightful banana muffins in your air fryer. Happy baking!
