First Time Making Banana Cakes Using An Air Fryer

---

---

Life gives bananas, I made banana cakes._{Cakes with no eggs, but worth enjoying.}

---

When I was little, I thought baking should be with eggs. But as I started to be able to cook and learned that eggs are getting more expensive nowadays, I also understood that a good cake is not about eggs.

Eggs do give the effect of a fluffy texture that is also soft. But a good cake doesn't have to be all about eggs. Do you guys agree with this?

When we live in the countryside with no expectation of fancy cakes, cakes made from ingredients from the plantation itself are things that make our hearts happy.

Banana cakes will always be on the family favorites list. Old-fashioned, but always loved but my family members.

For example banana cakes. We can make simple banana cakes without eggs. That way, we can still use ripe bananas which will quickly go bad if we don't process them into something.

Banana Cakes With Air Fryer

I always have a supply of ripe bananas, but not always a supply of eggs at home. Our family has many banana trees in the garden. So I have to be able to process those ripe bananas into delicious food.

About banana cakes, indeed I have often made these cakes. Especially the banana cakes in the vegan version. Only this time something was different. I will not use the oven for this type of cake. I'm going to use the air-fryer.

The condition of my small kitchen made me have to move the oven from the storage space to the cooking area which has an electric oven plug-in area. Meanwhile, for a smaller air fryer, I don't need to move the air fryer so I feel this is simpler.

This time is also the first time I tried to make banana cakes with an air fryer. Because I share it with you here, that means the results of these banana cakes are good. Otherwise, I would not share this recipe.

Cooking Instructions

Mix all purpose flour with all spices.

In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour with spices: ground cinnamon, and salt.

Stir well. Then set aside the dry ingredients while we prepare the wet ingredients.

---

---

---

Peel bananas.

Prepare ripe bananas. You can also use over-ripe bananas that are almost rotten. Then peel the bananas and place them in a bowl to mash bananas later.

---

---

---

Mash bananas.

Using a fork, mash ripe bananas well. It's not hard work, is it? Eheheh

---

---

---

Mix mashed bananas with wet ingredients.

After getting mashed bananas, then add brown sugar, coconut milk, and cooking oil.

Stir them well with a spatula.

---

---

---

Mix the two mixtures.

Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture. Mix them well with a spatula.

If you feel this mixture is too hard, you can add more coconut milk.

---

---

---

Prepare a container of air fryer.

Don't forget to heat the air fryer for about 10 minutes. Then, spray a container with oil.

---

---

---

Move the banana dough

After the air fryer container is sprayed or smeared with oil, then transfer the banana dough into it. Then I added slices of bananas.

Bake banana dough for 30 minutes. I'm lucky to use the right time. When I poked a toothpick into the cakes, they looked already done.

---

---

---

Cool banana cakes

After carefully removing them from the air fryer, let the banana cakes cool before slicing.

After cooling, the texture of banana cakes becomes better than when they are still hot.

The Results

I like the results of the banana cakes that I bake using the air fryer. Pretty simple for me because I don't need to move my oven anymore.

The texture is not as soft as cakes when using the oven. But, it's worth it to enjoy. In my opinion, if the amount of dough is reduced, it will be better so that the dough in the air fryer container is not too dense.

From the middle to the top of the cake, it looks like softer banana bread. While it's getting down, it's getting a bit denser.

About the taste, I'm not disappointed about this—just the right amount of sweetness, using my favorite sweetener, brown sugar.

For serving, you can add powdered sugar on top of banana cakes. Also, you can add ice cream or just fresh fruits.

Bananas cakes are the perfect snack for our end-of-the-year treats. And..., as usual, my niece was the winner for finishing my banana cakes with nothing left.

Well, happy new year. I hope that in the new year, you can feel better, with more goals achieved. stay blessed!
