Air Fryer Blueberry Zucchini Bread

Air Fryer Blueberry Zucchini Bread is amazing quick bread. Made with the summer fruit of Blueberries and a great zucchini blend.

This is one of the easiest quick breads to make, and it’s all done in the Air Fryer!

I love great quick bread, and this recipe is no different. Perfectly cooked up in the Air Fryer, you get moist, flavorful, and delicious bread in minutes!

This is a great quick bread that you can serve for breakfast, a snack, or a quick dessert. And since it has both blueberries and zucchini, it’s a relatively healthy bread; sometimes, I even serve a piece with dinner.

Ingredients Needed

• Eggs: Provide structure, moisture, and richness to bread
• Vegetable Oil: Keeps bread moist and tender throughout baking
• Pure Vanilla Extract: Adds sweet, fragrant flavor to the bread
• Granulated Sugar: Sweetens and enhances the bread’s flavor
• Shredded Zucchini: Adds moisture and subtle vegetable flavor naturally
• All-Purpose Flour: Forms the base and structure of bread
• Salt: Balances flavors and enhances overall taste in bread

How To Make Air Fryer Blueberry Zucchini Bread

Step One: In a large mixing bowl, mix the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and sugar together. Mix in the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. Mix well. Fold in the zucchini and blueberries.

Step Two: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Set the pan into the air fryer, and set the temperature to 320 degrees F, for 20 minutes. When the time is up, place a toothpick in the loaf, and check to see that the toothpick comes out clean. If not, add another 5 minutes.

Air Fryer Blueberry Zucchini Bread Recipe Tips

• Grate and drain the zucchini: Squeeze out excess moisture with a clean kitchen towel to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
• Fold in blueberries gently: To avoid crushing, carefully fold them into the batter at the end.
• Use mini loaf pans: They cook more evenly in the air fryer than a large loaf pan.
• Check doneness early: Start testing with a toothpick a few minutes before the suggested cook time; air fryers can vary in heat.
• Let it cool: Allow bread to rest in the pan for a few minutes, then remove and cool completely for easier slicing.
• Add a touch of cinnamon or lemon zest: Enhances flavor and complements the zucchini and blueberries beautifully.

Storing Instructions

• Storing: Let the bread cool completely, then store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Freezing: Wrap individual slices or the whole loaf tightly in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
• Reheating: Warm slices in the air fryer at 300°F for 3–5 minutes, or microwave for 20–30 seconds until heated through.

Air Fryer Blueberry Zucchini Bread Recipe Faqs 

Do I need to peel the zucchini? No, you do not need to peel the zucchini. The skin is very thin and softens completely while baking. It adds valuable moisture and nutrients, and the small flecks of green will not be noticeable in the finished bread.

Should I squeeze the moisture out of the zucchini? Generally, no. Unlike some savory recipes, this quick bread relies on the moisture from the zucchini to keep the loaf tender and prevent it from drying out in the air fryer.

How can I prevent the blueberries from sinking? To ensure the berries are distributed evenly, gently toss the fresh or frozen (do not thaw) blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter. The coating helps suspend them during baking.

How do I ensure the bread cooks evenly in the air fryer? Use a small loaf pan that allows plenty of space for air to circulate on all sides. Also, reduce the temperature slightly and increase the cooking time compared to an oven recipe, and use the aluminum foil tent trick if the top browns too quickly.

How should I store this quick bread? Once completely cooled, store the bread tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or sealed in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
