Peel the bananas and mash them in a mixing bowl or directly in the prepared air fryer basket.
Add the egg, milk, coconut oil and honey to the mashed bananas. Mix well.
Add the rolled oats and cinnamon to the wet ingredients. Stir until everything is combined.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips into the mixture.
Place the air fryer basket into the air fryer. Cook at 170°C for 30 minutes, or until the bake is set and golden brown.
Remove the basket from the air fryer and let the chocolate banana oat bake cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
For an extra protein boost, stir in one scoop of your favourite protein powder along with a splash of milk or plant-based drink to maintain a soft texture. Alternatively, serve with a dollop of Greek yoghurt.
If using a larger air fryer basket or wanting to make a bigger batch, simply double the ingredients and add 1-2 extra bananas to maintain the perfect consistency.
