Air fryer banana bread

Banana bread

A small, properly moist loaf without an hour of oven time.

The top sets long before the middle in an air fryer, so foil is not optional here. Tent it once it colours and let the inside catch up.

Ingredients

Serves 6 · tap to check off

  • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 100g melted butter
  • 120g caster sugar
  • 1 egg and 1 tsp vanilla
  • 200g plain flour and 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Method

  1. Mash. Mash the bananas thoroughly, black ones are best.
  2. Mix. Stir in the butter, sugar, egg and vanilla, then fold in the flour and bicarb.
  3. Air fry. Pour into a lined loaf tin that fits and cook at 310°F for 35 minutes.
  4. Tent. Cover with foil once the top is golden, usually around 15 minutes.
Test-kitchen tip

Tent it with foil early. Without it you get a burnt crust over a raw middle every time.
