Ingredients
Method
Triple layer 27 paper muffin cases to make nine thick cases.
Combine flour and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk egg, vanilla, oil and milk in a medium bowl; add to dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold banana into mixture until just combined. Divide mixture evenly among muffin cases.
Preheat a 7-litre air fryer to 160°C for 3 minutes, if advised by the manufacturer.
Taking care, place filled muffin cases in the air fryer basket, then top each with three pecan halves; at 160°C, cook for 17 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack.
Stir a teaspoon of extra vanilla bean paste into the whipped cream or yoghurt and serve with warm muffins.
