Air Fryer Banana Bread

How to make delicious banana bread in your air fryer, it’s quicker, cheaper and easier, simple step by step instructions from start to finish.

1

Grease a 900g / 2lb loaf tin and line the bottom with parchment paper, make sure it fits inside your air fryer drawer.

2

In a small dish, plate or bowl and using a fork, mash up your ripe bananas.

3

In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and the butter, until light and creamy.

4

Add the mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract to the large bowl and whisk for at least 2 minutes.

5

Mix all of the dry ingredients together, that’s the spices, baking powder and salt in with the flour.

6

Sift the dry ingredients on to the wet batter, through a fine mesh sieve.

7

Gently fold the wet and dry together, do not over mix, or you will knock the air out that we just whisked in.

8

Add the chopped walnuts, and gently fold them into the batter.

9

At this point It’s a good idea to preheat your air fryer, I set mine to Bake mode at 160°C / 320°F, for 3 minutes.

10

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf tin, give the tin a few taps on the bench to lift any of the larger air bubbles.

11

To give the finished cake a little crunch on top, sprinkle some course demerara sugar over the top of the batter.

12

Place the tin in the preheated air fryer, set to Bake mode at 160°C / 320°F, bake for 35 minutes.

13

Check with a cocktail stick to see if it’s done, it the stick comes out clean, it’s done, if not, give it an extra 5 minutes.

14

Place the tin on a wire rack, and allow to cool for 15 minutes.

15

Remove the cake from the tin, it is now ready to slice and serve.

16

Enjoy.
