Banana Nut Bread

Just like the name implies, it’s a traditional banana bread baked up (or air-fried up) with a healthy serving of nuts.

This is one of my favorite banana bread recipes, as the nuts give so much flavor and texture to the bread that you will soon be eating the entire loaf. (It’s that good!)

How To Make Air Fryer Banana Nut Bread

In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. In another bowl, mix the butter and brown sugar, and cream until the butter and sugar are light and fluffy; add the eggs 1 by 1 and mix after each egg. Mix well. Fold in sour cream, bananas, and vanilla, and mix well.

Slowly fold in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and mix well.

Spray your loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray, filling about 2/3 the way full. Place the pan into the air fryer basket, set the temperature to 320 degrees F, air fryer setting for 12-15 minutes. Continue to air fry until you put a toothpick into the center and it comes out clean.

Let cool before slicing.

Some Pro Tips, For Making Air Fryer Banana Nut Bread

• I always make sure that my bananas are ripe for the best batch of Air Fryer Banana Nut Bread. The truth is that you want a banana that is almost brown all over. That is what a ripe banana is. Ripe bananas are much sweeter than regular bananas.
• For your Air Fryer Quick Bread to fully cook, invest in a set of mini loaf pans. This way, the center gets perfectly cooked. If you find that the outside is cooked, but the inside is raw, that means you cooked at it too high a temperature. Lower the temperature.
• You can either use diced pecans or walnuts.
• If you want, you can add other mixins; some of my favorites are mini chocolate chips, but mini peanut butter chips are amazing!

How Rotten Should Bananas Be For Banana Bread?

How to Mash Bananas

Oen of the most common questions everyone always asked me, how to mash bananas for this recipe. It’s actually effortless, I break them up, and then I added them into my electric mixer, and it perfectly mashes them without me doing anything.

I always remove the mixing bowl and make sure that they are mashed. If not, I smashed them with my fork. If you do not have an electric mixer, use a hand mixer to do this, or use a fork.

What Are The Best Pans For Making Banana Bread & Other Quick Breads in The Air Fryer?

While everyone has a regular-sized loaf pan, the regular-sized loaf pans do not work well in the air fryer.

You will often find that the middle does not bake. This is because the air fryer works by hot air spinning around the food. If the hot air never reaches the inside, you will end up with well-cooked bread on the outside, but not the inside. The inside will remain raw.

My suggestions for pans that work well in an air fryer, including the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex Plus, Power XL, Corsori, and the Instant Pot Crisp Lid, are: (affiliate links included)
