Yield: 1 loaf (approx. 6–8 servings)
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

• Cooking spray
• 1 cup white wheat flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 egg
• ½ cup mashed ripe banana
• ¼ cup plain yogurt
• ¼ cup pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Begin by preheating your air fryer to 330°F, setting the stage for the delicious transformation of ingredients into a comforting loaf.
2. Lightly coat a 6 x 6-inch baking dish with cooking spray, ensuring that your banana bread will effortlessly release its heartwarming aroma and flavor.
3. In a medium bowl, embark on the creation of your batter. Mix together the white wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda, creating a foundation of flavors and textures.
4. In a separate bowl, take the lead role in crafting the wet ingredients. Beat the egg and blend in the mashed ripe banana, plain yogurt, pure maple syrup, coconut oil, and pure vanilla extract. Let the harmonious mixture come together until well combined.
5. With a gentle hand, pour the liquid mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently to create a blend that’s harmonious and inviting. Remember, the goal is to avoid overmixing; a slightly lumpy batter is a sign of success.
6. Your banana bread batter now deserves its spotlight. Pour it into the prepared baking dish, ready to embrace the warmth of the air fryer. Cook the batter at 330°F for a mere 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf emerges clean proof that the heart of the bread is baked to perfection.

VARIATIONS:

1. Nutty Delight: Add a crunchy twist by folding in chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans to your batter.
