Fill the bananas

Stuff each banana with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips, pressing them gently into the pocket.

Preheat the air fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for 3 minutes.

Pro tip: Preheating ensures even cooking.

Prepare for air frying

Place the filled bananas on a piece of parchment paper inside the air fryer basket.

Pro tip: The parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.

Cook the banana boats

Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 7-8 minutes, until the marshmallows are golden and the chocolate is melted.

Pro tip: Rotate the basket halfway through for even cooking.

Garnish and serve

Remove from air fryer and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers. Serve immediately.

Pro tip: Let them cool for a minute before eating to avoid burns.
