Air fryer banana bread

Ingredients

• 2½ cups self-raising flour

• ¾ cup brown sugar

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• ¼ tsp nutmeg

• 3 medium overripe bananas, mashed (reserve a few slices to decorate)

• 2 tbsp rice bran oil

• 1 cup milk

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

Method

1. Step 1

   Preheat your air fryer to 170C and grease and line a loaf or cake tin that fits comfortably inside your air fryer basket.

2. Step 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg until well combined. In a separate jug, mash the bananas (keeping a few slices aside for the top) and stir in the oil, milk and vanilla extract.

3. Step 3

   Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the banana mixture. Using a wooden spoon, gently fold the components together until just combined, taking care not to over-mix the batter.

4. Step 4

   Spoon the mixture into your prepared tin, smoothing the top and scattering over the reserved banana slices. Bake at 170C for 45-50 minutes, or until the cake is springy to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. (See note below on browning.)

5. Step 5

   Allow the cake to cool slightly in the tin before transferring it to a wire rack. Serve warm with a generous spread of butter.
