How To Make Easy Air Fryer Banana Split Recipe

Step 1: Slice the bananas lengthwise. Place them in a small, air fryer-safe dish.

Set 2: Set the air fryer temperature to 350 degrees F and set cook time for 3-4 minutes until slightly caramelized and warm.

Step 3: Add the peanut butter, and other toppings, return to the air fryer and cook for another 1-2 minutes at 350 degrees F. Remove when the toppings are melted.

Step 4: Sprinkle chopped nuts (optional) and place a maraschino cherry on top. Serve immediately.

Easy Air Fryer Banana Split Recipe Tips

• Use ripe but firm bananas: They hold their shape better during air frying.
• Don’t overcook: Air fry just until bananas are warm and caramelized to prevent mushiness.
• Customize toppings: Add chocolate chips, caramel, sprinkles, or other favorite toppings.
• Serve immediately: Best enjoyed fresh with warm bananas and cold ice cream.
• Dish size matters: Use a small air fryer-safe dish to fit the bananas snugly.

Storing Instructions

• Bananas: Air-fried bananas are best served immediately but can be stored separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day.
• Assembled Banana Split: Best served fresh; storing ice cream with warm bananas will make it melt.
• Leftover Toppings: Chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and other toppings can be stored in the fridge for 3–5 days.

Easy Air Fryer Banana Split Recipe Faqs

Can I use frozen bananas? Yes, but thaw them slightly first. Air frying frozen bananas may take a minute longer and can be a bit softer.

Can I use different ice cream flavors? Absolutely! Chocolate, strawberry, or caramel swirl ice cream works perfectly.

How do I prevent bananas from getting mushy? Use firm, ripe bananas and air fry only until just warm and slightly caramelized.

Can I make this dessert ahead of time? You can prep the bananas ahead, but assemble with ice cream and toppings right before serving for best results.

Can I add extra toppings? Yes! Sprinkles, nuts, chocolate chips, caramel drizzle, or whipped cream all make great additions.
