Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 360℉.
In a shallow dish, mix together the cornflake crumbs and coconut.
For each sandwich, spread one bread slice with 1 1/2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Top with banana slices. Spread another bread slice with 1 1/2 tablespoons of preserves. Combine to make a sandwich.
Using a pastry brush, brush top of each sandwich lightly with beaten egg. Sprinkle with about 1 1/2 tablespoons of crumb coating, pressing in to make it stick. Spray with oil.
Turn sandwiches over and repeat to coat and spray the other side.
Cooking 2 at a time, place sandwiches in air fryer basket and cook for 6 to 7 minutes or until coating is golden brown and crispy. If sandwich does not get as brown as you like, spray with a little more oil and cook at 390℉ for another minute.
Repeat previous step to cook remaining sandwiches.
Cut cooked sandwiches in half and serve warm.
