Why This Banana Bread Is Healthier
Traditional banana bread is often made with refined flour and added sugar. This version uses Rebalance Atta, a multigrain, protein-rich flour that increases the nutritional value and helps keep you fuller for longer. Using an air fryer also makes the process faster and energy-efficient while still giving you a perfectly baked loaf.
Key benefits:
- Higher protein content per slice
- Higher fiber content compared to regular wheat or maida
- Naturally sweetened with ripe bananas and optional jaggery
- Made using clean-label ingredients
Ingredients (1 medium loaf / 6 slices)
Base Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup Rebalance Atta
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate shavings (optional)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons jaggery powder or coconut sugar (optional)
- 1 tablespoon ghee or coconut oil (optional, improves moisture)
Optional Add-Ins (Choose Any)
These additions increase nutrition and texture without compromising the recipe.
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts, almonds, raisins, or dates
- 1 tablespoon rolled oats sprinkled on top for a light crust
Keep total add-ins under 1/4 cup to maintain the correct loaf structure.
Air Fryer Banana Bread: Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the batter
Mash the bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla essence, and cinnamon powder.
Mix until well combined.
Add Rebalance Atta and baking soda, then fold gently. Avoid over-mixing to prevent a dense texture.
Add optional nuts, seeds, or chocolate shavings if using.
2. Prepare the loaf tin
Line a small loaf tin or round cake tin with parchment paper.
Lightly grease the sides for easy unmolding.
3. Air fry
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C for 3 minutes.
Place the filled tin inside the air fryer.
Bake at:
- 180°C for 15 minutes
- Then cover loosely with foil and air fry for another 7 to 10 minutes
This prevents the top from over-browning while ensuring the inside cooks through.
Check doneness using a toothpick. A few moist crumbs are ideal.
4. Cool completely
Allow the banana bread to cool for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.
Rebalance Atta sets better once cooled and results in a clean, even slice.
