Easy Air Fryer Banana Bread Recipe
We hate wasting. When we see naners like these on our countertop we've always made our Bisquick banana bread or one with a bit of shredded coconut in it. It is tough during the summer months when it is hot and the oven is not our friend though….. Now we can make a smaller version in our electric air fryer too!
You could also make this in smaller forms. Using silicone baking cups it is a quicker way to get the same flavors you love. You would want to use our recipe below, or yours, and our air fryer muffins temperature and timing for those.
Tips: My Favorite models are the Cosori or making Ninja Foodi recipes with the lid that is attached.
It is best practice to put food into a hot basket. This is how to preheat air fryer first before adding your food so it becomes as crispy as possible. For best results, here's a printable free air fryer cooking time chart here for your fridge.
Ninja Foodi Banana Bread
Of course there are a ton of other overripe banana recipes you can make if you have a LOT of them, but this should be one. If you have never baked before like this it is easier than you think. We would use the measurements below because you shouldn't fill your pan higher than 3/4 of the way full and this works well. With a Foodi you will use the lid that is attached.
Air Fryer Banana Bread Bundt Cake
You may be here because you recently made our banana bread bundt cakewasn't that great???!!! It is the moistest cake like sweet bread we have ever come up with and often times we make it dairy free as well.
How ripe should bananas be for banana bread?
First off let's talk about that brown bunch here. You may not have the energy to bake that day. We have had those moments before (a lot) and have learned that we can buy myself a few more days by putting them in the fridge.
Once they're completely black they're kinda done. We like them like you see here below. That way when we mash them up there is still a bit of larger chunks here and there. If we have a lot we will make this and our 2 Banana Muffin Recipe
What happens if bananas aren't ripe enough for banana bread?
Well they won't be as sweet. The blacker they are the sweeter the flavor will be. If you must make it when they're still too yellow you can put them on a sheet pan. Then into a 300 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Kinda' a kitchen hack for you, but honestly our kids usually finish them up before they get to the brown point so it's rare we ever do this.
Ingredients
- Brown bananas
- Room temperature Egg
- Sour cream
- Oil
- Sugar
- All purpose flour
- Baking soda and salt
- A pinch cinnamon and/or splash of vanilla extract are up to you
You're going to need this 7″ bundt baking pan. You could alternatively use the same size springform pan. The difference is the latter will get more done on the outside than the middle. As for the timing keep an eye on it. Don't walk away and let time elapse leaving it into the hot machine. You'll be disappointed because it will continue baking and be overdone.
Swaps
If you needed dairy free you can use our Banana Bread Recipe No Butter recipe instead. And then there is the debate on adding chocolate chips or nuts. With our larger version of Ginger Banana Bread we usually don't add either but 1/2 cup of either would be fine.
We are a strong NO nuts gal myself. We do not like crunchy “things” in our soft food. You could add crushed walnuts, maybe 1/2 cup but we'd rather add the same amount of mini semi sweet chocolate chips myself, or leave plain. Something else you could add is a bit of vanilla or almond extract too. That is personal preference really.
with Cake Mix
You can make the batter from our cake mix banana bread muffins with spice cake mix instead of flour and leavening agents if you prefer.
How to Bake Banana Bread in Air Fryer
- In a bowl whisk dry ingredients and wet ingredients in another, fold in mashed bananas.
- Slowly incorporate dry flour cinnamon mixture into your wet bowl and use a spoon to mix. Leave bits of banana chunks in tact, in our opinion.
- Spray inside of bundt pan lightly, pour batter in and place inside air fryer basket or on wire rack in Foodi.
- Air fry at 310 degrees for a total of 28 minutes.
- This is How to Tell if Banana Bread is Done so it doesn't dry out.
- Remove and allow to sit for 5 minutes cooking time.
- Put a plate on top and gently flip over cake pan so bread slides out.
- Slice and serve or drizzle with slightly melted vanilla frosting and enjoy.
This didn't last long at all, never does. We could barely get a photo of it after this chunk was already eaten. None of our banana bread with mayonnaise slices ever make it past the first breakfast time.
Ninja Foodi Banana Bread without Pan
In our Foodi Facebook group someone did cook this with NO pan. They sprayed the inside of the pot with non stick spray and poured the batter right in. A screenshot of their post is here and their directions to that method are below.
We suggest trying it both ways if you want. If you don't have any Ninja Foodi accessories we do think this is a winner for baking. Let us know what you think of both and why you might enjoy one over the other. You can find other great air fryer breakfast recipes here. Enjoy our friends.
How do you store leftovers
It's the same for air fryer zucchini bread. You want to wrap what is left in plastic wrap. Do not slice what isn't eaten, it will stay moister that way. After wrapped, then slide it into a freezer bag and suck the air out of that before zipping closed.
It will stay fresh up to a week longer if after wrapping you store in your refrigerator. Then slice and take out what you want to eat then and there. Leave the rest in the fridge until you're ready to enjoy it!
