What are the ingredients in Air Fryer Banana Bread?

As always, I love to provide recipes that have easy to find ingredients, because, let’s face it, who has the time to hit up multiple stores looking for some hard to find item? I will also give you the easy substitute items, where available, to make the whole process as simple as possible. So here is what you will need to make this banana bread:

Mashed bananas
- These can be either fresh bananas, mashed with a fork until smooth. Or frozen bananas (the ones intended for smoothies). If using frozen, fully thaw and then mash as you would fresh bananas
Banana flavored yogurt
- I used oikos high-protein yogurt in Banana Creme. Your favorite banana flavored yogurt will also work fine. If banana flavored yogurt just isn’t available, you can substitute vanilla flavored and still achieve similar results.
Eggs
Sugar
Butter
- Use whatever type you like, I used plant based butter
Vanilla extract
- Imitation is fine
All purpose flour
Baking powder
Baking soda
Kosher salt
Nutmeg
Walnuts
- Pecans would work great here as well if that is your preference

How do I make Air Fryer Banana Bread?

As I stated before, this is really an easy recipe. Here is what you will need to do:

Begin by mixing together the mashed banana, banana yogurt, eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla extract.
Once that is well combined, add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg until combined.
Gently fold in the walnuts being careful not to over-mix the batter.
Pour into a prepared loaf pan.
Air fry, cool and serve…that is it!

How to serve Air Fryer Banana Bread?

How to store Air Fryer Banana Bread?

First make sure the bread has fully cooled, attempting to store the bread while it is still warm can cause it to steam and gain an unpleasant texture. Once cooled, the bread can be stored sliced or whole. Either wrap tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container. The bread should keep well for 2-3 days when properly stored.
