Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas cut into 5 or 6 pieces each
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice will work too
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
- Slice each banana into approximately 5 or 6 chunks.
- Beat together egg and milk until well combined, set aside.
- On a large plate, combine crumbs, sugar and cinnamon.
- Spread the mixture around until full blended. Set aside.
- Cover each banana chunk with flour. Dip each chunk into the egg mixture. Bananas should be fully covered but not dripping.
- Coat in crumb mixture until fully covered.
- Pile on platter to cook.
- Place each fritter in an air fryer. Make sure they do not touch. Cook at 250 degrees for 10 minutes, flipping at midway point. I usually carefully shake the basket until adjusted.

- Serve warm with chocolate sauce, caramel, honey, cool whip or whipped cream. Enjoy every bite!

Notes
Use ripe bananas for a sweeter, more flavorful taste that eliminates the need for sugar. Just be careful not to use overripe bananas, as they can be too soft and difficult to handle.
Always preheat your air fryer to ensure a crisp exterior and tender interior.
Cut your bananas into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook at the same rate.
Coat the banana slices evenly with egg wash and breadcrumbs for a uniform coating.
Place the banana slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket with space between them to allow for proper air circulation.
Flip the banana fritters to ensure even browning on both sides.
Timing can vary depending on the air fryer model and thickness of the banana slices so keep an eye on your first batch so they don't burn.
