Indulging in a slice of Air Fryer Banana Bread is a delightful treat, blending convenience with the comforting flavours of home baking. The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity; overripe bananas, a few pantry staples, and your trusty air fryer come together to create a moist, flavourful loaf in a fraction of the time it takes in a conventional oven.

To start, mash two or three ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth, then stir in sugar, melted butter, and a splash of vanilla extract for added depth. Next, fold in flour, a sprinkle of baking soda, and a pinch of salt, creating a thick batter that invites variations—perhaps chopped walnuts or a handful of chocolate chips for a cheeky twist.

Preheat your air fryer, pour the mixture into a lined loaf tin that fits snugly inside, and let the magic happen. In about 25 minutes, you'll be greeted by the sweet aroma of freshly baked banana bread. The air fryer gives it a beautifully golden crust while ensuring it remains wonderfully moist inside, perfect for enjoying warm with a dollop of butter or a drizzle of honey. There’s no need to wait for the oven to preheat or to heat up the kitchen—a slice of this delightful bread is just moments away!
