Brimming with great, traditional banana flavor, have a slice of this banana bread with a cup of tea for breakfast, or enjoy it as an afternoon snack with a small smear of butter and/or a side of fruit. Somehow, by the power of air fryer magic, the moist, dense texture of this banana bread is wonderful! We suggest you toast the walnuts before using them in the recipe to deepen their flavor. Take note, though, the top of the bread will get a little darker than if you were to cook a banana bread in the oven due to the heating element being right above the bread.
How to Make It
Line the bottom of a 6-inch round cake pan with parchment paper; lightly coat pan with cooking spray. Whisk together flour, cinnamon, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl; set aside.
In separate medium bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, eggs, sugar, yogurt, oil and vanilla. Gently stir wet ingredients into flour mixture until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pan and sprinkle with walnuts.
Heat a 5.3-qt air fryer to 310°F and then place pan in air fryer and cook until browned and a wooden pick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes, turning pan halfway through cook time. Transfer bread to a wire rack to cool in pan for 15 minutes before turning out and slicing.
