Quick and easy mini banana bread

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?

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. 😉

The BEST air fryer banana bread

Here’s why you should make THIS air fryer banana bread recipe rather than any other:

  • It’s a small banana loaf. Perfect for last minute entertaining or an emergency banana bread craving. No temptation to scoff the leftovers all to yourself!
  • it’s got a crisp outer crust and a soft, fluffy and moist inside. Delicious!
  • It’s a one bowl, super quick recipe. It literally takes around 5 minutes. No pesky creaming of butter and sugar! Just mash a ripe banana, whisk in an egg, then add sugar, oil, and flour.
  • It’s quick to bake, too. Banana bread usually takes about an hour to bake. But this small batch version takes only 30 minutes, whether you bake it in your air fryer or the oven.
  • It’s a fairly healthy recipe and not too sweet. There are only 2 tablespoons of both oil and sugar.
  • It works with many substitutions! I’ve made it with almond flour, coconut oil, whole wheat flour, coconut flour, and added raspberries, coconut and more. See below for more healthy substitution ideas!

5 star review *****

“I am so grateful to find a recipe that works! Love the crispy outer crust and soft inner texture! Thank you! ♥️” (Priscilla)

Ingredients

All the ingredients needed to make mini air fryer banana bread including flour, an egg, milk, a ripe banana and oil, on a marble background.

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.

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.

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!).

I’d add a pinch of salt, as well!

What pan to use

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.

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.

How to make it

The step-by-step guide below should help you make the recipe perfectly first time. Scroll down to the end for the full recipe including ingredient amounts.

Step 1: Pre-heat your air fryer to 320F/160C and line a small baking dish or loaf pan with baking paper.

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 4: Pour or scrape the batter into your small baking dish or loaf pan.

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!

Helen’s top tips

  • Throw all your overripe bananas into a bag in the freezer for your next mini banana loaf craving!
  • You might want to tuck aluminium foil over the top during the second half of the cooking time. You’ll find that the top of the banana bread gets browner than it would in the oven. Personally, I love the contrast of the crunchy top with the moist cake below!
  • The top sometimes cooks faster than the inside in an air fryer. To check it’s fully cooked, simply turn upside down and poke a skewer or cake tester into the center of the bread. If it comes out virtually clean, it’s done!
  • If you prefer to bake it in your regular oven (maybe your oven is already on!), you can do this. The temperature is the same but the cooking time is a little less – around 25 minutes.
  • If you have a larger air fryer and two ripe bananas, why not double the ingredients and make two mini loaves instead of one? One for now, and one for the freezer!

Substitutions

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!!).

You can change it up by:

  • using different oils. I’ve already used canola, olive and coconut oils to make this banana bread! You can also replace the oil with melted butter for extra flavor.
  • varying the flours. Once I used a mixture of whole wheat flour, coconut flour, and hemp seed flour. This one was delicious!
  • using a natural sweetener such as maple syrup, honey or date syrup instead of brown sugar.
  • adding things like milk, white or dark chocolate chips, flaked coconut, nuts or raspberries/blueberries. I’ve tried most of these additions and they were all delicious!
  • Add a large pinch of cinnamon and/or nutmeg or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for an extra hit of flavor.

Somehow however I adapt it, my banana bread always works and tastes good!

Top tip: Do browse the comments below for more substitution ideas. Readers have already tested making this in so many ways!

Storing and freezing

Your mini banana bread will keep well in an airtight container for a few days (IF it lasts that long, which I doubt).

It also freezes well. You can freeze it well wrapped or in a freezer proof container for up to 3 months.

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.

Got brown bananas? What are you waiting for?

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!

Just see how smug you feel when you take the first bite of your delicious warm-out-of-the-oven treat!

  • mini loaf pans
  • set of 2 Pyrex jugs

Ingredients (UK/Australia? Click below for grams/ml)

cups/ounces – grams/ml
  • 1 banana small to medium, mashed – the riper the better
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar I add 2-3 tablespoons depending on my mood!
  • 2 tablespoons oil I’ve used light olive oil and canola and coconut oils. Melted butter works really well, too.
  • ¼ cup milk Any milk works, including non dairy such as almond and soy.
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour I’ve used white, wholemeal, coconut flours, or a mixture + hemp flour. I've also used self raising flour instead and skipped the baking soda.
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)
  • raspberries, blueberries, chocolate chips, coconut, nuts, ½ teaspoon vanilla (All optional extras!)

Instructions
 

  • Line a very small ovenproof baking pan, glass dish or mini loaf pan (I've used 5 sq inches and also a 5×3 inch mini metal loaf pan) with baking paper and trim. Spray with a little oil.
  • Pre-heat air fryer or oven to 320F/160C.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg into the mashed banana. Then whisk in the sugar, oil, and milk.
    1 banana, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons oil, ¼ cup milk
  • Add the flour and baking soda and salt and mix until just combined. Fold in any mix-ins e.g. chocolate chips, nuts.
    ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 pinch cinnamon or nutmeg, raspberries, blueberries, chocolate chips, coconut, nuts, ½ teaspoon vanilla, 1 pinch salt
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in your oven or air fryer for 25 to 35 minutes or until a skewer poked into the bottom of the cake comes out clean. A little bit of sticky-ness is fine. For me it takes 30 to 35 minutes in my air fryer and 25 minutes in my oven.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes in the tin/dish, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Notes

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!). 
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.
Storing: This banana bread will keep fresh for a few days in an airtight container.
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.
I’ve also added chocolate chips, coconut flakes and raspberries to the original recipe. I particularly enjoy the raspberry version!
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.

    I made a double batch in my Ninja Foodie XL in mini silicone loaf pans and everyone personalized tgeir own by adding chocolate chips, nuts, craisins. We didn’t have eggs so I substituted 1 tbsp vinegar and 1 tsp baking soda. Bake at 325°F for 10 minutes, reduced to 300 for 10 minutes. Let rest in AF for 5 minutes. Yum!!

    Did 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips and 1/2 tsp vanilla essence and its amazing! So easy!

    Did 160c for 25 mins in Airfryer then turn it upside down and did another 10 mins.

    No need to cover with foil.

    Perfect!

    Very good! I did a triple batch no actually I did nine batches I made six mini loaves two dozen mini muffins and six mini hearts the only thing is they were done in my air fryer in about 16 minutes actually a little overdone so set your fryer air fryer for half the time to shake and you can check them at that time

      Hi Lisa, thanks so much for the feedback! I love that you made ‘mini hearts’ as well. Good point to check the loaves after around 15 minutes since definitely the cook time varies a bit depending on the size of pan and your particular air fryer. I’m really happy you like the recipe! 🙂

    Made this for my toddler (we’re trying to fortify her food), but made a few adjustments. I used 2 Tbsp of fructose (fruit sugar), coconut oil, almond milk, used ground allspice in place of nutmeg, and replaced 2 Tbsp flour with a superfood powder.
    I made them as muffins (made 6 normal sized muffins) and they took 10min at 180 in the airfryer.

    I’ll definitely use this recipe again – I’ll just add a dash of vanilla essence/extract as I feel it’s lacking that.

    But overall great recipe – not too sweet at all – perfect for Kids lunch boxes and a guilt free snack!

    I’ve been making my mum’s recipe in the oven for years and when it was too hot today to put the oven on I was inspired to use the air fryer and found your recipe. I had two very ripe bananas that would be wasted and boy, am I impressed! It’s SO spongey and moist!!! I used melted butter and oat milk plus gluten free plain flour (Schar). I’m seriously impressed. I took your advice to use brown sugar, oh and I also doubled everything up and my loaf tin just fitted and no more! Mini tins may need to go on the shopping list 😀

It’s helpful to hear that you successfully doubled the recipe, but really it works in a variety of pan sizes, as long as they fit into your particular air fryer. Thanks again and I hope this becomes a firm family favorite 🙂

    This Banana bread was absolutely scrumptious!!
    I used real, non refined honey instead of sugar, coconut oil, half self raising white flour and half self raising wholewheat flour. Felt very healthy as I was craving cake but also wanted to share some with my toddler. I will definitely make this again. I might try blueberries it raspberries as you mentioned. World love to see more of these types of recipes from you please.

    Firstly would like to see more recipes like this for novices like me who are just learning about baking and air fryers. I made this twice within a few hours of each other. Found the top came out beautiful both times bit inside was somewhat rubbery. I used Bob’s egg replacer both times because I am vegan. Perhaps next time may try inverting the bread by removing it from the pan or placing a sheet of foil over the top while leaving it in the pan. Breads are in cooler and may firm up a bit by tomorrow. Thank you the recipe.

      Hello Bob! So great to get your feedback, especially from the vegan perspective. This recipe wasn’t developed with vegans in mind but it’s fantastic to know it can be adapted. Try reducing the temperature slightly and cooking for slightly less time – that may solve the ‘rubbery inside’ issue. Also yes definitely flip it over towards the end. This may be one of those recipes you need to tweak slightly to get right in your particular air fryer and with the ingredients you’re using. Good luck!

    Thank you for this recipe. It was what I needed since I do not have an oven for baking. Can I bake the bread in AF without the parchment paper? Just oil the sides of the baking tin or glass dish. And can I use stainless stain tin instead?

    Thank you.

        I bake it this morning. I used bread flour , no baking soda. I realised that I did not follow the exact order of your steps as per your recipe.
        It turn out to look like a dense cake. Like Asian Kueh.
        What could I have done incorrectly?

        23 Aug 21 at 10:07 am

        Hello! Try again following the recipe exactly and see how it turns out then. Definitely don’t skip the baking soda – that could be why it turned out dense. Also don’t overmix – just combine until all the ingredients are mixed in. Good luck!

      Hi Kristina! Coconut sugar can usually work well as a 1:1 substitution for brown sugar in baking. I’m afraid I haven’t tried the recipe with any other sugar substitutions. What I’d do is google the specific sweetener you’re wanting to use to find out how the substitution usually works. I hope it turns out well for you!

    Reply
    • Helen says

      27 May 21 at 10:00 am

      Hi Julia! I usually flip it just for the last 5 minutes, so it’s nearly cooked anyway. As it’s a small cake it’s really easy. Just use an oven glove while you pull out the baking paper with the cake in it and flip it over quickly with a tea towelled hand! You may not even need to flip it. Just check the bottom of the cake just before the end of the cooking time. If it needs flipping for a few minutes, go ahead, if not, all good. It could depend on the brand of air fryer you have – that’s why I say you may or may not want to flip it for a few minutes. In any case this hasn’t been a problem for anyone, so you should be fine. Maybe try a test cake before your dad’s bday? Good luck!

    I love this recipe! Baked it three times already.

    First time I forgot the milk, it was dense but my friends liked it. I used butter instead of oil.

    Second time I remembered to add milk, i used soy milk. Still used butter. And added walnuts and chocolate chips. It was really good!

    Third time I used gluten free flour. Still with soy milk and chocolate chips but not with walnuts. It was good but the flour was a bit hard to work with cause the bread was dense even with the milk.

    I loved mu second attempt so I’ll do that from now on. Thank you so much for this recipe! I live in Japan and my space is too small for an oven so knowing I can bake in the air fryer makes me so happy!

    Thank you for this heavenly banana bread, it’s absolutely amazing. I always loved banana bread but the recipe I used before just pales in comparison to this. I made some changes: I used whole grain spelt flour, coconut milk, olive oil, and coconut sugar. Added 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and half handful of dark chocolate chips. I have two super tiny loaf pan they were perfect for this amount, and the two loaves baked to perfection in 17-8 minutes. No need to flip or anything. It’s a super versatile recipe and I feel better that I made it a little healthier at least.

    Just made this morning. First time I’ve baked in the airfryer usually just cooking chips, chicken etc. I’m delighted with the result it was so yummy. I’ll definitely be making this again. Thanks for the recipe
