  • Banana1 medium
  • Oat flour2 tbsp
  • Applesauce2 tbsp
  • Spices, cinnamon1/2 tsp
  • Olive oil1/2 tsp

Steps

  1. 01

    Prepare the banana mixture: Mash the banana in a mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in the applesauce and cinnamon powder.

  2. 02

    Add the oat flour: Gradually mix in the oat flour to form a thick, sticky batter.

  3. 03

    Shape the bites: Scoop small portions (about 1 tbsp each) of the batter and form into little bite-sized balls or dollops.

  4. 04

    Cook in the air fryer: Arrange the bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t touch. Lightly spray with olive oil. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 8–10 minutes until the outside is lightly golden.

  5. 05

    Cool and serve: Let the bites cool for a few minutes before serving. They’ll be soft on the inside and perfect for little hands.
