Ingredients

  • ¾ cup mashed ripe bananas (about 1½ bananas)
  • ¼ cup granulated white sugar
  • ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
  • cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 320°F. Spray 2-3 mini loaf pans with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix the mashed banana, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, egg, heavy cream, syrup and vanilla until combined.
  • Add the flour and baking soda to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pans and place inside the air fryer. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center of loaves. comes out clean.
  • Let cool in pan for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Recipe was tested using my 5.8 quart Air Fryer.
  • If you don’t have mini loaf pans, you can put the batter into a 6-inch cake pan instead.
  • You can make 2 larger mini loaves or 3 thinner mini loaves. My air fryer only fit 2 so I opted for 2 loaves. You may need to cook your loaves in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
