air fryer banana bread

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (you can adjust according to your sweetness preference)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• A pinch of salt
• Optional: chopped nuts or chocolate chips for topping

Instructions:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter or coconut oil, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Grease a small loaf pan that fits into your air fryer basket. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
6. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or chocolate chips on top of the batter.
7. Place the loaf pan into the preheated air fryer basket.
8. Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Once done, carefully remove the loaf pan from the air fryer and let the banana bread cool in the pan for a few minutes.
10. After cooling slightly, transfer the banana bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
