Air Fryer Banana Bread is easy to make & takes only 40 minutes. Loaded with nuts & delicious banana flavor, it’s a classic breakfast recipe, simplified.
Do you love banana bread? My kids love it so much that they purposely ignore the bananas we buy just so they will ripen to the point where we have to make bread with them.
But this time I decided to make this Air Fryer Banana Bread that is just perfect for two.
When I first got my air fryer, I honestly thought it would be used primarily for making all our game-day snacks. I didn’t know I would be able to use it to make breakfasts and many desserts too.
What I really love about it is that I can feel a little less guilty about the foods we are eating because of the reduced oil used in the cooking process, thanks to the air fryer.
