The other day I had my air fryer out for a different recipe (our air fryer salmon bites) and decided to whip up a viral recipe I saw on Instagram. I love peanut butter and banana, so slicing it up and air frying it with chocolate was a no-brainer. Turns out, my 1-year-old loved it too!
What You Need for this Air Fryer Banana Split
- Ripe bananas
- Peanut butter
- Mini chocolate chips
- Peanuts
- Sea salt
Also, make sure to have some tin foil on hand because you’ll wrap your banana up so that it gets nice and toasty without oozing out in your air fryer.
