How To Make Air Fryer Weight Watchers Banana Bread Mug Recipe
Step One: Preheat your air fryer temperature to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, mash the banana, combine all ingredients, and mix until well combined.
Step Two: Spray a mug with cooking spray and then pour in the batter. Place the mug in the air fryer and set cook time for 12-15 minutes, or until the bread is cooked through. Allow cooling for a few minutes before serving.
Air Fryer Weight Watchers Banana Bread Mug Recipe Tips
- Use a very ripe banana. If it’s speckled and looks a little sad, that’s perfect. More ripeness equals more natural sweetness.
- Don’t overmix the batter. Stir just until combined or you’ll end up with a dense, rubbery mug cake.
- Check for doneness early. Every air fryer runs a little hot or cold, so start checking around the 10–12 minute mark with a toothpick.
- Choose an oven-safe mug. A ceramic mug works best and helps the bread cook evenly.
- Let it rest before digging in. Giving it a few minutes to cool helps it set and improves the texture.
Storing Instructions
This mug banana bread is best eaten fresh, straight from the air fryer while it’s warm and cozy. If you do have leftovers, cover the mug tightly with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 20–30 seconds until warmed through.
Air Fryer Weight Watchers Banana Bread Mug Recipe Faqs
Can I make this banana bread mug recipe ahead of time? This recipe is meant for instant gratification. It’s best mixed and cooked right away since the batter can lose its rise if it sits too long.
What size mug should I use? A standard 8-10 ounce oven-safe ceramic mug works best. Smaller mugs can overflow and bigger mugs may cook unevenly.
Can I use frozen bananas? Yes, just thaw completely and drain off excess liquid before mashing. Too much moisture can make the bread gummy.
Why is my mug bread dry? It likely cooked a bit too long or your air fryer runs hot. Next time, check a few minutes earlier and pull it as soon as the center is set.
Can I add chocolate chips or nuts? You can, but keep portions small to stay Weight Watchers friendly. A teaspoon or two is plenty without tipping the points.
Do I need to preheat the air fryer? Preheating helps the bread cook evenly and gives you a better texture, so it’s worth the extra minute.
Can I bake this in the oven instead? Yes. Bake at 350°F in an oven-safe mug for about 20–25 minutes, checking the center for doneness.
Is this recipe freezer-friendly? Not really. Mug recipes don’t freeze well and tend to turn soggy when thawed. This one is better enjoyed fresh.

Only 3 ingredients. This will probably allow the real banana taste to come through. The banana bread I’ve made has only a mild banana taste.. Maybe that’s the way it should be, especially with many ingredients.. It ‘is very delicious and light. So I am not complaining!!!
Will make this one soon Thanks.
