Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup butter room temperature
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large very ripe banana or 2 small bananas mashed
  • ⅓ cup diced pecans or walnuts optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 330 degrees. Spray 2 6x3 mini loaf pans with non-stick spray.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a second bowl, cream together the butter and sugars with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until combined. Mix in the mashed bananas.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients (and nuts, if using) to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Pour the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans. Add the loaf pans to the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry for 10 minutes and then carefully lay a piece of foil over the top of the loaf pans to prevent the loaves from browning too much. Continue baking for 15-20 more minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then move to a wire rack to finish cooling before slicing.

Notes

I measure out a piece of foil the size of my air fryer basket and just carefully lay it directly over the top of the loaf pans. It does tend to bunch up a bit after opening the air fryer to test for doneness, but just flatten it back out and place it back on top as needed.
You’ll want somewhere around ½ - ⅔ cup of mashed banana.
Feel free to swap the nuts for chocolate chips, if you prefer.
