Yes, you CAN bake banana bread in your air fryer! This mini air fryer banana cake recipe is perfect if you have a lonely overripe banana in your fruit bowl. Crunchy on the top and moist and fluffy on the inside, it’s super easy to make in around 30 minutes. With endless substitutions, this is for you if you want a healthier banana bread that you don’t even have to switch on your oven for!
I’ve yet to meet anyone who doesn’t enjoy a slice of freshly baked banana bread, ideally still warm from the oven. But you don’t always want a big loaf of cake hanging around your kitchen, constantly tempting you to have that second (and third and fourth?) slice.
So what if you made a small banana bread instead? And you didn’t even need to turn on the oven to make it?
Air Fryer Banana Bread (egg Free & Dairy Free)
Yep, you guessed it, you can make a mini banana bread in your air fryer! How cool is that? You can still make it in your oven if you prefer (see instructions below!) but you’ll save power (and possibly even your waistline) if you make it in your air fryer. 😉

1 banana: Small to medium. The riper the better! Ripe bananas are sweeter and more flavorsome so I find this makes such a huge difference to the taste.
Air Fryer Banana Bread (no Eggs)
1 egg: I try to go for free range or organic. I usually use large, but this recipe is quite forgiving so any you have will work fine.
Brown sugar: 2 to 3 tablespoons depending on whether you’re in a sweet tooth mood or not! Other types of sugar work too, such as white or coconut, but I like the slight caramel-y taste of brown.
Oil: This is a banana bread recipe with oil, for ease. 2 tablespoons of your favorite oil is fine. I’ve successfully used vegetable oil, melted coconut oil and even light olive oil. Melted butter works, too, if you prefer that classic buttery flavor in your cake.
Air Fryer Banana Nut Bread
Milk: I’ve tried the recipe with whole milk, 2 percent (semi-skimmed/hi lo) and almond. I think it would work with any kind of milk you like, including non dairy milks.
All-purpose/Plain flour: Mix with 1/2 teapsoon baking soda, or just use self-raising flour. Other flours such as whole wheat work too (see below for more suggestions!).
To make this mini cake in an air fryer, you just need to use a really small baking pan or dish. I use a small glass baking dish that fits into my fairly small air fryer. It’s about 5.5 square inches.
Small Batch Air Fryer Banana Bread
However, you can use any dish or pan that’s ovenproof – glass, ceramic, metal or silicone – and of course that fits into your air fryer!
I recently bought a set of 4 mini metal loaf pans that are 5.5 inches by 3 inches. These work very well too. If you have a larger air fryer such as the Philips Essential Air Fryer XL then you could even sneakily double the ingredients and make 2 mini loaves at one time!
Whichever pan you use, it’s best to line it with baking paper and trim the edges, then spray it with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mash the banana well in a Pyrex jug or small baking bowl. I like to use a jug so that I can just pour the batter into my dish (with a little help from the fork I use to combine all the ingredients). No need for a spatula if you don’t want!
Step 3: With a fork, whisk in all the other ingredients (the egg, sugar, oil, pinch of salt and finally the flour and baking soda). Just until well combined – there can be some lumps.

Step 5: Put the pan into your air fryer basket and bake for around 30 minutes. After this, check with a skewer or tooth pick that it’s done. If there’s still some raw batter, just turn it upside down and put back into the air fryer for an extra 5 minutes with the bottom facing up!
This small batch banana bread recipe is very adaptable, and very easy to ‘healthify’. Not that the recipe is that bad in the first place (hello bananas!!).
Your mini banana bread will keep well in an airtight container for a few days (IF it lasts that long, which I doubt).

Sometimes, I like to slice it into separate slices, wrap it in baking paper, and freeze in small freezer bags. I then either let it defrost then reheat for a few seconds in the microwave, or defrost completely in the microwave.
Next time you have brown bananas sitting on the counter top that your significant other is threatening to throw away (mentioning no names, Mr Scrummy…), make one of these mini banana breads!

Got a brown banana hanging around? Fan of freshly baked banana bread but don't want a big loaf lying around to tempt you? This mini banana bread is a super easy one bowl recipe and there’s no creaming of butter and sugar necessary. Just mix together a few basic pantry ingredients, pop the cake into your air fryer (or oven if it's already on) and you’ll be enjoying a delicious slice of healthy banana bread in around just 30 minutes.
Banana: Because this is a mini banana bread, I use a small to medium banana for this recipe. You can vary the amount of mashed banana a bit, but if you use too much the base of the bread can become a bit heavy (although it’s still delicious!).
Air Fryer Gluten Free Banana Bread
Cooking time: This banana bread usually takes 30 to 35 minutes to bake in my air fryer. In my oven it takes 25 to 30 minutes. Unfortunately I think the baking time will vary according to your oven. Just keep checking from 25 minutes onwards!
Since sometimes an air fryer cooks the top of a cake faster than the inside, you can turn the banana bread over 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
Substitutions: This small batch banana cake is very versatile. I’ve healthified it by reducing the sugar and swapping out the oil and flour for healthier versions (e.g. coconut oil, wholewheat or coconut flour…) and the recipe still works really well.

Freezing instructions: This banana bread freezes well. I like to slice it into separate slices, wrap it in baking paper, and freeze in small freezer bags. I then either let it defrost then reheat for a few seconds in the microwave, or defrost completely in the microwave.

Air Fryer Banana Bread
I prefer to use very ripe bananas that are covered with black speckles or are almost completely brown. The browner the banana, the sweeter the bread will be. If you have very fresh and yellow bananas, you can make the bananas ripen faster by placing them in a paper bag with an apple overnight. If you don't have time or want to wait for your bananas to ripen, add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup to a 1-cup measuring cup and fill it up with mashed bananas. This will give you a sweetness and moisture level similar to that of using ripe bananas.
I use an 8x4-inch (20x10cm) loaf pan, and the pan is only half full with batter. The reason for this is to avoid having the bread bake so high that it rises higher than the pan and touches the heating spiral of my air fryer. However, you can double the ingredients to fill the pan with batter if your air fryer has enough room for the bread to rise. If you use a different pan size, you will have to adapt the recipe or the baking time. I shared an easy calculation on my Air Fryer Cheesecake post to adapt any recipe to any pan size.
Unfortunately, the batter can't be made
