Description

A quick and moist banana bread recipe made easily in your air fryer, perfect for small batches.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small to medium banana, mashed
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)
  • Optional extras: raspberries, blueberries, chocolate chips, coconut, nuts, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Line a very small ovenproof baking pan, glass dish, or mini loaf pan (about 5 square inches or 5×3 inches) with baking paper and trim. Spray the paper with a little oil.
  2. Pre-heat your air fryer or oven to 320F/160C.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk the egg into the mashed banana. Then whisk in the sugar, oil, and milk.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined. Add a little more milk if the mixture seems dry.
  5. Fold in any mix-ins you choose, like chocolate chips or nuts.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake in your air fryer for 30 to 35 minutes or in your oven for 25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Some stickiness is acceptable.
  8. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can use light olive oil, canola oil, coconut oil, or melted butter for the fat.
  • Any milk works, including non-dairy options like almond or soy milk.
  • If you use self-raising flour, skip the baking soda.
  • Different flours, like whole wheat or coconut, absorb more liquid; add more milk if the batter seems too thick.
