Air Fryer Banana Bread is easy to make & takes only 40 minutes. Loaded with nuts & delicious banana flavor, it’s a classic breakfast recipe, simplified.
Do you love banana bread? My kids love it so much that they purposely ignore the bananas we buy just so they will ripen to the point where we have to make bread with them.
But this time I decided to make this Air Fryer Banana Bread that is just perfect for two.
When I first got my air fryer, I honestly thought it would be used primarily for making all our game-day snacks. I didn’t know I would be able to use it to make breakfasts and many desserts too.
What I really love about it is that I can feel a little less guilty about the foods we are eating because of the reduced oil used in the cooking process, thanks to the air fryer.

I mean, really – banana bread, made in the air fryer. It is as easy as whisking the ingredients together, pouring it into the pan and letting the air fryer do the rest.
No waiting while pre-heating the oven and it keeps the house cool, which makes this great for the summer too.
Here are some commonly asked questions
Can I add other ingredients to this recipe?
Absolutely. We used walnuts in this one. But it is also great with chocolate chips, pecans, pistachios and even macadamia nuts
What air fryer do you use?
We actually have 3 air fryers. I have a smaller one from Phillips that we started with. I have since given that to my son since he’s only cooking for 1.
But the more I used the air fryer I realized I really wanted a digital screen. It wasn’t any more expensive, in fact- our XL air fryer from GoWISE was less expensive than the Phillips and I love its ease & extra functions.
Plus it comes with a lot of the extra accessories I like to use when cooking with my fryer.
But I when I started working on my second air fryer book, I wanted to change things up. I picked up this Chefman 6.3 Quart Digital Air Fryer+ Rotisserie, Dehydrator, Convection Oven. It has 8 Touch Screen Presets (Fry, Roast, Dehydrate & Bake, BPA-Free, Auto Shutoff) & Accessories Included. It is XL Family Size, which is great!

Thank you for this recipy of the banana bread. It was my first try of baking in the airfryer, as my oven broke down, and it turned out great. I used 1,5 times the ingredients, skimmed yogurth instead of sour cream, and i baked it in a glass ovendish with non-stick greased baking paper. I needed to bake it 20 minutes longer but it turned out moist and delicious. I will certainly try more air fry recipies.
Nicki says
I had to cook it longer too. 20 minutes longer in glass pan. Taste was great.
Gina Kleinworth says
Changing the pan from the standard air fryer metal to a glass pan will change the time it needs to cook. But in general the cooking time will depend on your particular air fryer. The size, performance capabilities and age vary so greatly across the board that most recipes will be different for each user.
Nicki Domino says
Super delicious! A little undercooked so I may cook a bit longer next time. 310 for 37 minutes.
Sub Greek yogurt for sour cream. And sub Splenda stevia for sugar. 6 pieces. No nuts.
Dougie Colten says
I added semisweet chocolate chips and the cook times were spot on! Toothpick clean. This is so scrumptious and fluffy. Delicious! I may replace this for my regular banana bread recipe, it’s that good.
