Air fry cinnamon honey bananas at 190°C (374°F) for 7 minutes.

This is dessert with almost no work involved — bananas you already have, a few minutes in the air fryer, and the natural sugars caramelize into something close to banoffee without any actual cooking skill required. A good last-minute finish to a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

2 ripe bananas, halved lengthwise
1 tbsp honey or sugar
½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
Chopped nuts (optional)
Chocolate, to grate over (optional)
Yogurt, to serve (optional)

Steps

Halve the bananas lengthwise.
Place them cut-side up on parchment in the basket so they hold their shape instead of sticking.
Drizzle with honey or sprinkle with sugar.
Add the cinnamon, spreading it evenly so no one bite ends up bland.
Air fry at 190°C for 4 minutes.
Check and continue for another 3 minutes (7 minutes total) until caramelised - look for the edges turning deep golden brown and the surface glistening and slightly bubbling.
Lift out carefully with a spatula, since the fruit will be very soft.
Top with chopped nuts, a grating of chocolate or a spoon of yogurt while still warm, so any chocolate you grate over melts slightly on contact.
Serve immediately.

Tip: Slightly under-ripe bananas hold their shape best.
