Prepare the Bananas: Start by peeling the ripe bananas and placing them in a mixing bowl. Mash them with a fork to your desired consistency. You can leave some chunks for extra texture.

Mix Ingredients: To the banana mash, add in the old-fashioned oats, cinnamon, honey (or maple syrup), and a pinch of salt. Stir everything well until combined.

Shape the Mixture: Use your hands to form small fritter-sized balls (about 2 inches in diameter) from the mixture. Make sure they are tightly packed to hold their shape during cooking.

Preheat Your Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes. Greasing the basket lightly with cooking spray or coconut oil can help prevent sticking.

Air Fry the Fritters: Place the banana fritters in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to work in batches. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Flip Halfway Through: At the halfway mark, gently flip each fritter to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes as cooking times may vary.

Serve and Enjoy: Remove the fritters from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. They can be served as a breakfast item or a delicious dessert!
