Ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas
• 150g (1 cup) self-raising flour
• 60g (1/3 cup, lightly packed) brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil

2. Use balloon whisk to whisk flour and sugar in a medium bowl. Make a well in the centre. Add egg, oil and buttermilk. Use whisk to break up egg. Use a wooden spoon to stir until mixture is combined. Stir through mashed banana.
3. Preheat an air fryer to 180C. Divide half of the mixture among 9 patty cases. Remove rack from the air fryer and carefully transfer cases onto rack. Return rack to fryer. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until muffins are cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining mixture to make 18 muffins.
