Air Fryer Banana Bread For Two — You’ll never guess HOW this easy, no-mixer bread is baked!! It’s super soft, tender, moist, and the perfect mini banana bread loaf for two!!
Small Loaf Banana Bread for Two
Over the years I’ve made 40+ kinds of banana bread, but this version is different in two major ways. First, it’s small enough for two. Even though I never have a problem plowing my way through a loaf of banana bread, if you’re not as zealous as I am or only have two ripe bananas to use, it’s perfect.
Secondly, I made it in a Philips Viva Airfryer Digital. I’ve made banana bread in a slow cooker before, but this was new to me. I got the recipe from the Williams-Sonoma Airfryer Cookbook and as a money-saving bonus, use coupon code AIRFRYERBLOG to receive 30% off any Airfryer from their website.
The air fryer banana bread is fast, easy, and you don’t need a mixer. It’s soft, tender, moist, and we made quick work of this loaf for two in two days. I made it twice. Once with peanut butter and once without. You can’t go wrong either way and you can add nuts or chocolate chips if you’d like to jazz it up more.
What’s in Air Fryer Banana Bread?
To make this mini banana bread with two bananas, you’ll need:
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Baking soda
- Bananas
- Granulated sugar
- Vegetable oil
- Egg
- Sour cream
- Creamy peanut butter
- Vanilla extract
- Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
How to Make Air Fryer Banana Bread
This small loaf banana bread is as easy to make as regular banana bread! Simply whisk together the wet ingredients, then mix in the dry.
Turn the batter into the greased non-stick baking dish that accompanies the air fryer. Bake the banana bread until a toothpick inserted it the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs. Let the air fryer banana bread cool for 10 minutes before eating.
How to Store Air Fryer Banana Bread
This mini banana bread will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week or up to 4 months in the freezer.
Tips for Making Air Fryer Banana Bread
If you don’t have an air fryer, I’m sure you could make this small loaf banana bread in the oven using mini loaf pans.
As I mentioned above, feel free to omit the peanut butter if desired. Likewise, you can add whatever mix-ins you want (chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, chopped nuts, etc.).
Note that the nonstick pan is an add-on accessory that doesn’t come with the air fryer.

Banana Bread for Two
Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 medium very ripe bananas, peeled
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup vegetable or canola oil
- 1 large egg
- 2 rounded tablespoons sour cream, lite is okay or Greek yogurt may be substituted
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup walnuts, roughly chopped or 3/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the Airfryer to 330F. Spray the bottom and sides of the nonstick baking dish (this is an add-on accessory) with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
- To a medium bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and whisk to combine; set aside.
- To a large bowl, add the bananas and mash with a fork.
- Add the sugar, oil, egg, sour cream, peanut butter, vanilla, and whisk until combined.
- Add the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
- Optionally fold in the walnuts or chocolate chips.
- Turn batter out into prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Carefully place the baking dish in the variety cooking basket and insert basket into the Airfryer.
- Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted it the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs. Start checking at 25 minutes since the moisture content and size of bananas and climates vary.
- Remove the baking dish from the Airfryer, place on a wire rack, and allow bread to cool for 10 minutes. Invert bread onto a cutting board and flip right side up. Slice and serve.
Notes
- Bread will keep airtight at room temp for up to 1 week or up to 4 months in the freezer.
- Inspired by the Williams-Sonoma Airfryer Cookbook.

I would love to make your Banana Bread for Two in the Airfryer. Your recipe sounds delicious, and I always have the ingredients on hand, including two ripe bananas (as much as my husband and I try to finish off each bunch we buy). I enjoy your recipes and have tried many of them. I confess I have just heard about the airfryer from you! Here I thought I was somewhat familiar with most of the new small appliances for the kitchen. Thank you.
What a neat fryer! I would love to AirFry Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers. They are so hard to keep together on the grill. This would be perfect!
Woohoo.. thank you for the chance to win! I really like to try this banana bread recipe in the airfryer :) it will be perfect as there’s 2 of us too!
I’d love to make French fries, aranccini and mozzarella sticks.
You have so many recipes I’d like to try in the airfryer. I’ll try Chocolate chip cookie pie first!
I’d try that banana bread or sweet potato fries!
Besides for making banana bread I want to try my hand at different artisan breads
I think I’d like to make something with chocolate, like a brownie for “2” or a chocolate cake for “2” (but probably just eat it all myself since I couldn’t possibly divide it up between myself and 4 kids ?).
My kids don’t like banana bread, but I love it! They always make fun of me for making it… But if I had an air fryer, –I would be the one laughing–with a banana bread just for me and a cup of tea. Yum!
I would make apple cider doughnuts.
What a great giveaway! I’d probably try baking something – & your banana bread seems like a good thing to start with.
First, I would make the banana bread for two, and then Navajo fry bread. Yum!
After I made this delicious banana recipe once, or twice, okay maybe at least 6 times, I would definitely try making a triple chocolate cake!
I would love to try making a coffee cake with cinnamon and buttermilk.
I would definitely start with the banana bread If any grandkids were over, I would add chocolate chips. I would then work my way through the cookbook.
Ahh there are just too many options to pick from that you could make in an air fryer! Well, for starters, I would have to make this wonderful banana bread, but I would love to try making some fish and chips with it as well.
