Instructions:

Crafting Comfort in Every Bite:

1. To embark on this delightful baking journey, preheat your air fryer by selecting the “Bake” function and adjusting the temperature to 330 degrees F. With the tap of the “Start” key, your air fryer will begin its preheating process, setting the stage for the creation of these miniature muffin wonders.
2. As your air fryer preheats, seize the opportunity to prepare your muffin tin for the baking adventure. Brush the muffin tin with a nonstick cooking spray oil, ensuring that the muffins will release effortlessly once they’re baked to perfection.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of ground walnuts, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt. This dry mixture serves as the canvas upon which the muffin magic will unfold.
4. In a separate bowl, gather the wet ingredients that will infuse the muffins with their signature banana goodness. Mash 3 large overripe bananas, then add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 beaten eggs, and 1/2 cup of coconut oil. Stir these ingredients until they form a harmonious blend.

Creating the Miniature Marvels:

5. Now, it’s time to bring the comforting flavors together. Gently incorporate the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring until every ingredient is well incorporated. The result is a batter that’s lusciously smooth and rich with the aroma of bananas.
6. As the preheating of the air fryer concludes, place your baking pan filled with muffin batter onto the air fryer tray. Allow the air fryer to work its magic, baking the mini banana muffins to perfection.
7. Bake the mini banana muffins for approximately 15 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean when inserted into the center. This step ensures that the muffins achieve their ideal texture—tender, moist, and infused with banana goodness.

Embracing Every Bite:

8. As the aroma of freshly baked mini banana muffins wafts through the air, allow the muffins to cool slightly before indulging. Each bite offers a medley of flavors—sweetness from ripe bananas, a touch of nuttiness from the ground walnuts, and a tender crumb that melts in your mouth.
