A quick and convenient banana bread recipe made in the air fryer, delivering moist texture and rich banana flavor with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (75g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and optional ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 1 large room-temperature egg lightly. Add ¾ cup granulated sugar, ⅓ cup melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the mashed bananas. Mix well until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients using a spatula. Mix just until no dry flour patches remain. Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if using.
  5. Lightly grease a loaf pan or silicone mold that fits your air fryer. Pour the batter evenly into the pan and smooth the top.
  6. Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for 3 minutes. Place the loaf pan inside and air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 25-30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, it’s ready. Add 3-5 minute increments if needed.
  7. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

Use ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness and moist texture. Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense bread. Grease the pan well or use a silicone mold to prevent sticking. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly. Let bread cool before slicing for cleaner cuts.
