Ingredients Needed

• Ripe Bananas: Provide natural sweetness and a soft, creamy texture when mashed, making them a delightful filling.
• Honey (Optional): Drizzled over the peanut butter and banana for extra sweetness and flavor.
• Ground Cinnamon (Optional): Adds warmth and depth to the sandwich, enhancing the overall taste.
• Cooking Spray (Optional): Cooking spray helps prevent sticking to the air fryer basket and promotes even toasting of the bread.

How To Make Air Fryer Peanut Butter And Banana Sandwich

Step One: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F (175°C) while you prepare the sandwich.

Step Two: Take one slice of bread and spread one tablespoon of peanut butter evenly over it.

Step Three: Arrange the thinly sliced banana evenly over the peanut butter-covered bread slice. Drizzle honey over the banana slices for added sweetness if desired. Sprinkle ground cinnamon lightly over the banana for warmth and flavor.

Step Four: Place the second slice of bread on top to create a sandwich. For extra crispiness, you can lightly coat the outer sides of the sandwich with cooking spray.

Step Five: Place the sandwich in the preheated air fryer basket. Set cook time for 3-5 minutes or until it becomes golden brown and crispy outside.

Air Fryer Peanut Butter And Banana Sandwich Recipe Tips

• Use ripe but firm bananas – Prevents the sandwich from becoming too mushy.
• Spread peanut butter evenly – Ensures each bite is creamy and flavorful.
• Preheat the air fryer – Helps achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
• Don’t overcrowd the basket – Cook sandwiches in batches for even crisping.
• Add extras for fun – Try a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or chocolate chips for a twist.
• Check halfway through cooking – Flip if needed to ensure both sides are evenly toasted.

Storing, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

• Storing: Store leftover sandwiches in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. Keep them covered to maintain crispiness as much as possible.
• Freezing: Wrap sandwiches individually in plastic wrap or foil and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature before reheating.
• Reheating: Reheat sandwiches in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes until warm and crispy. Alternatively, use a toaster oven for similar results.

Air Fryer Peanut Butter And Banana Sandwich Recipe Faqs

Can I use frozen bananas for this recipe? Yes, but thaw them slightly and pat dry before adding to the sandwich to prevent extra moisture.

Can I use almond or other nut butters instead of peanut butter? Absolutely! Almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter all work well and add a different flavor twist.

How do I make the sandwich extra crispy? Preheat the air fryer and cook at 350°F for a few extra minutes, checking to ensure it doesn’t burn.

Can I add chocolate or other toppings? Yes! A few chocolate chips, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon enhance flavor without affecting cooking time much.

Can I make this sandwich ahead of time? You can assemble it ahead of time, but air fry just before serving to maintain the crispy texture.

How should I store leftovers? Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day, or wrap and freeze for up to 1 month.
