Air Fryer Banana Nut Bread

Classic air fryer banana nut bread — moist, tender and loaded with toasty walnuts, with that irresistible homemade aroma. The air fryer bakes a small loaf faster than the oven, with a beautifully domed, golden top.
It's the perfect use for over-ripe bananas and great for breakfast, snacking or gifting. Slice it warm with a little butter.
Ingredients
Instructions
Mix wet
Beat the butter with the sugar, then stir in the egg, mashed banana and vanilla.
Combine
Fold in the flour, baking soda and salt until just combined, then stir in most of the walnuts.
Air fry
Pour into a greased loaf pan, top with the remaining walnuts, and air fry at 320°F for about 32–35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Toast the walnuts first for deeper flavor.
- Tent with foil if the top browns before the center is done.
- Use a loaf pan that leaves airflow around it.
