Making zucchini bread in your air fryer is easy and quick, and using the air fryer saves substantially on the electricity and need to heat up the kitchen. Air Fryer Zucchini Bread comes out moist, sweet, and delicious! If you want to convince yourself that the bread is "healthy" because of the zucchini, feel free. The bread also includes some whole-wheat flour, so that's a bonus, in my view. Mixing up the bread takes minutes and doesn't require any special equipment. You will need to shred the zucchini, which I do in my food processor, often a day or two in advance. The recipe makes four mini loaves, and the loaves cook in the air fryer in 20-25 minutes. I like the zucchini bread for breakfast, snacks, and even dessert! Enjoy!
Air Fryer Zucchini Bread -- Makes 4 Mini Loaves
1/3 cup of canola oil
2/3 cup of buttermilk
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla
2 cups of shredded zucchini
3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
3/4 cup of white whole-wheat or whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon of allspice
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 cup of raisins
1/2 cup of nuts (pecans or walnuts are good), optional
Spritz four mini loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl whisk together well the oil, buttermilk, sugars, egg, and vanilla. Stir in the zucchini until blended, then stir in the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon until just combined. Fold in the raisins. Divide the batter among the four prepared pans. You can sprinkle the tops of the loaves with nuts, if you'd like, or leave the tops plain. Put one or two loaves in your air fryer basket (depending on the size of the basket), put the basket in the air fryer, set the temperature at 320 degrees, and air fry the breads for 20-25 minutes or until deep brown and a pick inserted in the center of a loaf comes out with no wet batter attached. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining breads. Let the cooked breads cool in their pans for about 10 minutes before removing them to cool completely.
