Air Fryer Banana Pancakes

Ingredients

• Ripe bananas (2 large, mashed)
• Egg (1 large)
• Milk (1/2 cup)
• Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
• All-purpose flour (1 cup)
• Baking powder (1 tablespoon)
• Cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
• Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
• Fresh berries (1 cup, for serving)
• Maple syrup (for serving)
• Cooking spray or oil (for greasing)

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
2. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until fully combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
6. Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
7. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the greased air fryer basket, spacing them apart to allow for expansion.
8. Cook the pancakes in the air fryer for 5 minutes. Carefully flip them over and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
9. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the basket as needed.
10. Serve the air fryer banana pancakes warm, topped with fresh berries and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
