Ingredients
- 3 over-ripe bananas
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter at room temperature
- 2 medium-sized eggs (at room temperature)
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- ½ cup chocolate chips (use one cup if you prefer more of a chocolatey loaf)
Instructions
- Lightly roast walnuts in a pan or skillet then set aside on a plate to cool. Chop the walnuts to a smaller size.
- Preheat your air fryer to 325°F or 165°C. Using a medium-sized bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar. Use a fork to mash the bananas to the consistency of baby food, then add this along with the eggs, to the bowl with the butter and sugar to create a batter.
- Using another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt, then add this to the bowl with the batter. Add the vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
- Stir in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips then grease your mini loaf pan or tin (see notes). Pour the batter into the greased pan and air fry for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once cooked, allow your banana bread to rest for at least 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire cooling rack.

Notes
- This recipe uses mini loaf pans. I used loaf pans with the following dimensions: 13.5cm/5.3 inches x 8cm/3.15 inches x 5cm/1.97 inches.
- Do not overmix, or else your banana bread will end up dense and chewy.
- If using a glass loaf pan, reduce the temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 4 degrees Celcius).
- If the bread is getting too brown during air frying before it is totally done, then cover the baking pan or form loosely with aluminum foil and continue to air fry until done.
- Do not overcook; different air fryers cook differently. In this regard, check on your banana bread mid-cooking and make adjustments to the cooking time if necessary.
- Store the cooked loaf properly to prevent it from drying out too quickly.
