Method
- Gather all ingredients and preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully slice each banana lengthwise through the peel, ensuring not to cut all the way through, creating a "boat" shape.
- Gently open the banana to create a cavity for the fillings.
- Evenly distribute the broken graham cracker pieces into the banana cavities.
- Next, sprinkle the semisweet chocolate chips over the graham crackers.
- Top with the miniature marshmallows, ensuring they are somewhat spread out to melt evenly.
- Carefully place the prepared banana boats into the air fryer basket; you may line the basket with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
- Air fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and puffed, and the chocolate is melted and gooey. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the banana boats from the air fryer.
- Serve immediately with a spoon, as they will be hot and gloriously gooey.
Notes
For optimal results, select bananas that are ripe but still firm enough to hold their shape during cooking; overly ripe ones will become too mushy. To elevate the flavor, consider adding a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt before cooking, as it beautifully contrasts the sweetness. A sprinkle of cinnamon could also introduce a warm spice note. Watch closely during air frying, as marshmallows can burn quickly. Aim for a golden-brown, not charred, finish. For an even crispier graham cracker texture, you could toast them lightly in the air fryer for a minute before assembling. Serve immediately for the best molten chocolate and gooey marshmallow experience.
