Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large OR 3 medium overripe bananas (about 1 cup mashed)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup pecans chopped
Instructions
-
-
Grease three mini loaf baking pans and set aside.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and salt, set aside.
-
In a separate large mixing bowl, mash the bananas and mix with the granulated sugar until creamy.
-
Pour the melted butter into the banana mixture and mix well. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the banana mix and mix until combined
-
Add in half of the flour mixture to the banana mixture and stir until just combined. Pour in the remaining flour mixture and stir until the batter is combined well.
-
Gently stir in the chopped pecans into the batter.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 330F.
-
-
While the air fryer preheats, scoop the batter into your prepared mini loaf pans, filling about halfway full. (This will make 3 loaves, if using a slightly larger pan you will want to fill the pans about ⅔ full and end up with 2 loaves).
-
Place the pans into the basket of your air fryer and bake on the air fry setting at 330 for 20-25 minutes.* (A toothpick inserted into the center of the banana bread loaf should come out clean when it’s fully done cooking).
-
When the banana bread has finished cooking, remove from the air fryer and let it cool fully in the pans before removing. Slice and serve!
Notes
- Make sure you use overripe bananas, they have the most sweet flavor.
- This will make 3 mini loaves, you will have to cook in 2 batches.
- This can be baked in the oven, see my tips above.
- You can add chopped pecans, walnuts, chocolate chips or leave plain.
- This can be frozen, see my tips above.
- Canola oil can be swapped for the melted butter.
- I like to spray the pans with Baker’s Joy which is a nonstick baking spray that has flour in it.
