Ingredients
  

  • 4 large bananas
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam, plus more for topping
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries, plus more for topping
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • Patriotic sprinkles, for serving

Optional Additional Toppings:

  • white chocolate chips
  • peanut butter chips
  • dark chocolate chips
  • Maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400 degrees F.
  • Slice into your bananas curved side up using a paring knife. Do not pierce all the way through, leave the underside totally intact. Gently open the cut you have made so that you can fit ingredients inside.
  • Spoon some jam and blueberries inside the banana.
  • Once the air fryer is preheated, add the bananas cut side up into your air fryer. Cook for 10 minutes, turning halfway through.
  • Remove the bananas carefully from the air fryer. Top with a drizzle of tahini, blueberries, jam, and some sprinkles along with any additional toppings you like. Enjoy!

Campfire Option:

  • After you have stuffed your bananas, wrap them tightly in foil.
  • When ready to cook, place the wrapped bananas in the coals of your campfire. Allow to warm for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the fire and unwrap the bananas. Top with tahini, sprinkles, and any other optional toppings before serving.
