How to make banana bread in an air fryer
- Step 1. Preheat the oven and prepare the pans. Preheat an air fryer to 330 degrees Fahrenheit and grease three mini loaf baking pans.
Step 2. Next, peel and mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher in a medium bowl. It is ok if there are still some small chunks left. Stir in melted butter, egg, sugar, vanilla, baking soda, and salt. Stir well using a large mixing bowl.
Step 3. Whisk the flour and baking soda together until the dry ingredients are combined. Pour the batter into the mini loaf pans filling them up approximately halfway full.
Step 4. Place the mini loaf pans in the air fryer basket. You may have to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Air Fryer at 330 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.
Step 5. Allow to cool on a wire rack before removing from the pans. Finally, slice and enjoy.
FAQs

Yes, banana bread freezes easily and still tastes delicious. We often make a double batch just to have some for the freezer.
Make sure the bread has completely cooled before freezing. Wrap the entire loaf in plastic wrap tightly. Then wrap again in aluminum foil.
You can also freeze individual slices if you prefer instead of the whole life. This is a convenient method if you want to grab slices and not have to thaw an entire loaf.
When ready to serve, allow to thaw on the counter. It can be frozen up to 3 months. You can also use the microwave if you prefer it warm.
We used a standard 5.8 quart air fryer. This is the basic size and what most people have at home. It held 2 of the mini loaves.
If you have a larger size, you may be able to fit all 3 mini loaves at once into the air fryer.
This recipe uses mini loaf pans measuring approximately 5 ¾ x 3 ¼ inches. Mini loaves make the perfect size when you need smaller, individual loaves instead of one large size.
