Light and Low-Calorie Banana Bread

Instructions:

1. Prep the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F).
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Add the crushed All-Bran, sweetener, and apple juice. Stir until well combined.
3. Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, baking powder, ground allspice, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Portion and Cook:

1. Muffins: Divide the batter evenly among greased muffin cups. Cook for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
2. Breadsticks: Pipe or spoon the batter onto a lined air fryer tray. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
3. Serve: Let the muffins or breadsticks cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a dollop of fat-free natural yogurt or fromage frais.

Tips for Air Fryer Success:

Don’t Overcrowd: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary.
Monitor Closely: Keep an eye on your muffins or breadsticks as cooking times can vary.
Experiment with Sprays: A light spray of non-stick cooking spray can help prevent sticking.
By adapting this recipe for the air fryer, you can still enjoy a delicious and healthy treat, even without a traditional oven.
