Air Fryer Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips
Air Fryer Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips is wonderfully golden on the outside and moist and chocolatey on the inside. Banana bread is so easy to make in an air fryer.
Banana Bread in the Air Fryer
Banana Bread cooks wonderfully in an air fryer. Many people don’t realize you can bake in an air fryer, but you can. In fact, pretty much anything you can make in the oven, you can make in an air fryer. Usually in a fraction of the time.
Use Overripe Bananas
You should wait until your bananas have lots of black spots on them before using them for baking. This ensures they will add enough sweetness and moisture to the bread.
Equipment Needed For This Recipe
Two Mini Loaf pans– I use these loaf pans that come in a pack of three. I can fit two at a time in my air fryer.
Air Fryer– I am currently using the Cosori 5.8-Quart Air Fryer.
Variations
- Add half a cup of chopped walnuts or pecans if you want some nutty flavor.
- Instead of mini chocolate chips, try adding toffee bits for a change in flavor.
Air Fryer Cooking Time
Air fryer cooking times can vary greatly between different air fryer brands and models so use the cooking time as an estimate. It will most likely take between 25 and 30 minutes at 320 degrees in a mini loaf pan. If your pan is larger, it will take longer.
Note: Because the air fryer fan blows so much heat down on top of the bread, the top will get brown before the inside is fully cooked. After about 15 to 20 minutes, open the air fryer and cover each pan loosely with foil.
How To Store and Freeze
Wrap it well or place it in an airtight container and it can be stored at room temperature for 3 to 4 days or you can freeze it for up to 3 months. To freeze, wrap it in plastic wrap and then in foil. Thaw it in the refrigerator or on the counter.
