How to Make Banana Bread Using Air Fryer

Step 1:

Peel the bananas and place on a plate. Mash with a fork, then set aside.

Step 2:

In a bowl, add 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 stick of softened unsalted butter. Whisk until nice and creamy.

Step 3:

Add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of milk. Mix until well combined. Next, add the eggs one by one mixing after every addition.

Step 4:

Add half of the mashed bananas and mix well.

Step 5:

In a different bowl, add all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix all the dry ingredients.

Step 6:

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until well combined. Stir in walnuts and chocolate chips now if adding.

Step 7:

Grease a 9×5-inch pan with cooking spray. Transfer the mixture and spread evenly.

Step 8:

Place the pan inside the basket and air fry at 320F for 30 minutes or more. To check if it’s done, insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, it is done.

Step 9:

Once done baking, remove from the air fryer and let it cool completely.
