Time 2h20m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Butter a 6-by-3-inch round pan and set aside.
  • Combine the butter, yeast, sugar, salt and 1 cup warm water in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. With the mixer on low speed, add 1/2 cup of the flour at a time, waiting for each addition to be fully incorporated before adding more. Once all of the flour is added, knead on medium speed for 8 minutes.
  • Transfer the dough to the prepared pan, cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Add the pan with the dough to a 3.5-quart air fryer and set to 380 degrees F. Cook until the bread is dark brown and the internal temperature registers 200 degrees F, about 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup wheat germ or whole-wheat flour

  • Spray a 7-inch round air-fryer insert, metal cake pan or foil pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, wheat germ, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Mash the bananas until very smooth in a separate medium bowl. Add the granulated sugar, oil, yogurt, vanilla and egg to the banana and whisk until smooth. Sift the dry ingredients over the wet and fold together with a spatula until just combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the top of the batter with the turbinado sugar if desired, for a crunchy, sweet topping.
  • Put the pan in a 3.5-quart air fryer and cook at 310 degrees F, turning the pan halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the bread comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack to cool for 10 minutes. Unmold the banana bread from the pan and let cool completely on the rack before slicing into wedges to serve.

5 bananas, peeled and halved horizontally
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar, or as needed

Tips:

  • Use overripe bananas: Overripe bananas have a sweeter flavor and are easier to mash, resulting in a more moist and flavorful banana bread.
  • Mash the bananas well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are completely smooth. This will help to create a smooth and even texture in the banana bread.
  • Use melted butter: Melted butter helps to make the banana bread more moist and tender. If you use unsalted butter, be sure to add a pinch of salt to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the banana bread tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the banana bread at the correct temperature: The ideal temperature for baking banana bread is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the banana bread will brown too quickly and the inside may not be cooked through.
  • Use a toothpick to test for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the banana bread. If it comes out clean, the banana bread is done. If there is still batter on the toothpick, bake the banana bread for a few more minutes.

Conclusion:

Air frying banana bread is a quick and easy way to enjoy this classic treat. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your air fried banana bread turns out moist, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. So next time you have a craving for banana bread, give this air fryer recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
