  • Transfer the banana muffins to a cooling rack. Let them cool down to room temperature before serving or storing them in an air-tight container.

Notes

Pause the air fryer at 11 minutes and check if the muffins are fully cooked and if the muffins are golden brown. Insert a toothpick or skewer in the center of the muffin and check for doneness. 
The Air fryer cooks and browns the muffins faster than the oven. But the taste won't be compromised. 
Air fry in multiple batches if your air fryer basket is small. 
If using paper liners, double or triple them up so that the shape holds better. 
Once air frying is done, stop and remove the cupcake liners from the air fryer basket and cool them in a cooling rack. 
We don't preheat the air fryer for this recipe. If making multiple batches, keep a watch a few minutes earlier. The air fryer is already hot, so the muffins might get cooked faster.
