Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the flour, sugar ( if using)and baking powder to the mashed bananas. Mix well to form a soft dough.
Shape the dough into small bite-sized balls.
Lightly spray the balls with oil.
Air fry the balls at 180°C for 8–10 minutes until golden. Alternatively, deep fry them in medium-hot oil until crisp.
Toss the hot bites in the cinnamon powder-powdered sugar mixture.
Serve warm with Nutella or chocolate dip.
Ensure the bananas are ripe for natural sweetness and better texture.
Do not over-mix the dough to keep the bites soft.
If you prefer a less sweet snack, you can skip adding sugar to the dough.
For a crispier texture, deep fry the bites instead of air frying.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but the texture might be slightly denser compared to using all-purpose flour.
Can I make these bites without sugar?
Yes, the natural sweetness of ripe bananas is usually enough. You can skip the sugar if you prefer a less sweet snack.
How do I store leftover banana bread bites?
Store leftover bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes before serving.
Can I bake these instead of air frying or deep frying?
Yes, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
What can I use as a dip if I don't have Nutella or chocolate dip?
You can use peanut butter, caramel sauce, or even a simple glaze made with powdered sugar and milk as a dip.
