Ripe, well-mashed bananas bring natural sweetness and moisture to this loaf, while a touch of brown sugar, vanilla, and warm cinnamon round out the flavor beautifully. The air fryer works surprising magic here, circulating heat for a deep golden crust in well under an hour, no oven preheating required. Folded in gently to keep the crumb tender, chopped walnuts add a satisfying crunch throughout, though they're easy to skip if you prefer it smooth. Once it turns out onto a wire rack, you get a moist, fragrant loaf that slices cleanly and holds together perfectly, whether served warm with the crumb still steaming or cooled to room temperature. It's a compact, fuss-free bake that fits neatly into a vegan kitchen and makes the most of a countertop appliance instead of tying up your oven.

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.
