Ingredients

1 large ripened banana smashed
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 large egg
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter cooled slightly
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 320°F. Grease two baby mini loaf pans and set aside. (size: 5 3/4" x 3 1/4" x 2").
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir until evenly combined.
Evenly divide the batter between the two loaf pans.
Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Banana bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

Leftover banana bread can be stored at room temperature in an air-tight container, up to 3 days.

Cooking Times

As with all air fryer recipes, cook times can vary with this banana bread air fryer recipe. The kind of air fryer you have, the temperature, and the humidity in your house all affect the overall results.

I have two different brands of basket-style air fryers and they cook at slightly different speeds. I do my best to give you the best possible instructions after testing a recipe.

I recommend checking your loaf of banana bread after 25 minutes. If it's not done, check every few minutes. Once you've made this for the first time, you can note down how long it took you to cook your banana bread.

Using a larger loaf pan

If you have a slightly larger baking dish that fits inside your air fryer, that will work, too. Just make one large loaf. If it fits, you can use a regular loaf pan or a round cake pan.

Make sure to check your banana bread with a toothpick to make sure it's fully cooked. You may need an additional 5-10 minutes to cook all the batter in one baking dish.

Store Bananas in the Freezer

One of my favorite hacks for banana bread is storing my overripe bananas in the freezer. That way, I'm not tied to the day my bananas are on their last leg.

I simply pop them in the freezer and use them whenever I get a craving for banana bread. I also use frozen bananas in smoothies (like this creamy orange smoothie).
