Ripe, well-mashed bananas bring natural sweetness and moisture to this loaf, balanced with brown sugar and a good hit of cinnamon for warmth in every slice. The air fryer works its magic here, giving the top a deep golden crust while keeping the inside soft and tender in a fraction of the usual bake time. Toasted walnuts fold in for a bit of crunch, though you can easily leave them out for a smoother crumb. It's a simple, one-bowl batter that comes together fast and slices beautifully once cooled. This one's an easy fit for anyone watching their added salt, since the sweetness and flavor here come from the bananas, brown sugar, and cinnamon doing all the heavy lifting. Warm from the pan or at room temperature, it's a cozy homemade loaf worth putting on repeat.

Preheat the air fryer to 310°F (155°C) for 3 minutes. Lightly grease a 7-inch round cake pan or a 6-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray, then line the bottom with a round or strip of parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher until nearly smooth with only small lumps remaining.
