Makingbanana breadin an air fryer has several advantages over the traditional oven method.

The most obvious, of course, is that you won’t have to turn on your oven.

In the summer months, that can be reason enough to opt for this recipe.

Whisk together flour, cinnamon, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl; set aside.

Gently stir wet ingredients into flour mixture until well combined.

Pour batter into prepared pan and sprinkle with walnuts.

Transfer bread to a wire rack to cool in pan for 15 minutes before turning out and slicing.

For longer storage, wrap individual slices and freeze in a freezer-safe zip-top bag for up to two months.

Bring to room temperature or toast before serving.
