How To Make Banana Bread In An Air Fryer

Making air fryer bread recipes means it will take less time than in the oven, which is always a good thing. Follow our step-by-step instructions below to make this tasty bread.

STEP ONE: Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to a small mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Set it aside.

STEP TWO: Using a medium bowl and a handheld mixer on medium speed, mix the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, 6 tablespoons of melted butter, sour cream, and vanilla just until incorporated. 

STEP THREE: Add the beaten eggs and mix just until no yellow streaks remain.

STEP FOUR: Fold in the dry ingredients and the chopped walnuts.

STEP FIVE: Preheat the air fryer to 300°F (about 3 minutes).

STEP SIX: Spray the 3 mini loaf pans with baker’s spray (Baker’s Joy or a generic version).

STEP SEVEN: Divide the banana bread batter evenly among the 3 prepared mini loaf pans.

Bake for 20 to 23 minutes until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes away clean. 

STEP EIGHT: Brush the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the top of the loaves while they are still hot. Allow the loaves to cool before removing and slicing. 

How To Serve

Air fryer banana quick bread is a great snack or dessert! It can be served as-is with a little butter for a light snack, or it can be topped with some fresh fruit and whipped cream for a more decadent treat. 

Its sweetness pairs well with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, pumpkin spice latte, or tea, making it the perfect accompaniment to an afternoon break. 

For an even sweeter treat, enjoy your banana bread with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Storing This Air Fryer Banana Bread Recipe

Proper storage is key to maintaining the freshness and flavor of homemade banana bread. Whether you’ve made it ahead or you’re saving some for later, here’s how to keep your banana bread at its best:

MAKE AHEAD: This air fryer banana bread recipe is perfect for making ahead of time. Once the bread has cooled completely, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out.

You can keep it at room temperature overnight, and it will still be just as moist and delicious the next day. This is perfect for when you’re expecting guests or simply want to wake up to a ready-made breakfast.

IN THE FRIDGE: If you want to extend the freshness of your banana bread, you can store it in the fridge. Wrap the cooled bread in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container.

Stored this way, your banana bread can last for up to a week in the fridge. Remember to let it come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.

IN THE FREEZER: For longer storage, the freezer is your friend. Wrap the completely cooled banana bread in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil.

You can also place the wrapped bread in a freezer bag for an extra layer of protection.

Properly stored, your banana bread can last for up to 3 months in the freezer.

When you’re ready to enjoy it, let it thaw overnight in the fridge and then bring it to room temperature.

REHEATING: If you prefer your banana bread warm or if you’re reviving it from the freezer, you can reheat it. For a slice or two, simply place them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds.

If you’re reheating a larger portion or an entire loaf, cover it with foil and warm it in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through.

Remember, the goal is to warm the bread, not to cook it further.

This air fryer banana bread is the perfect way to use up the ripe bananas that are hanging out on the counter. So grab your ingredients and get ready to create a delicious banana bread that will have everyone asking for more!
