Steps
Prepare the papaya: Peel and remove the seeds from the papaya. Cut it into small cubes and mash it with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky.
Make the mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed papaya, mashed banana, applesauce, and oat flour. Mix until the batter is thick and sticky.
Shape the bites: Use a spoon to scoop small portions of the mixture and form them into bite-sized balls or patties.
Cook in the air fryer: Arrange the papaya bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with olive oil. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 8–10 minutes until they are lightly golden and firm on the outside.
Cool and serve: Allow the bites to cool for a few minutes before serving to ensure they are safe for little hands to hold.
