Instructions

1
Insert the wire rack into position 7. Set the oven to Bake, Convection, 165°C, for 1 hour 10 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
Tip: Recipe has been optimized for the Joule Oven Air Fryer Pro and Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro.
2
Grease and line a 21cm x 11cm x 6cm deep loaf pan with parchment paper.
3
To make the walnut streusel, carefully assemble the processor with the grey spindle and green S-blade in the bowl. Add all the streusel ingredients to the processor bowl and pulse until the mixture resembles pea-sized pieces. Remove from the bowl and set aside.
4
To make the banana bread, place the banana and sugar in the processor bowl and process until pureed. Add the eggs, oil, milk and salt and process to combine.
5
Sift the flour and baking powder together, then add to the processor bowl and pulse until just combined, scraping down the side as needed.
Tip: Do not over process as this will toughen the bread.
6
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top with the walnut streusel.
7
Once preheated, place the pan in the oven and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Tip: Avoid inserting the skewer into any cracks, as this can give an inaccurate reading.
8
Stand the banana bread in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Slice the banana bread and serve warm with butter.
