Ingredients
  

For the Bananas
  • 2 ripe Bananas Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and a perfectly soft texture.
For the Caramel
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Creates a rich caramel when melted; coconut sugar is a great substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter (melted) Helps caramelize the brown sugar; opt for coconut oil to make it dairy-free.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Adds warmth and enhances flavor; nutmeg can be swapped for a unique twist.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
