Air-Fryer Blueberry Loaf Recipe
This is a quick and easy Air fryer blueberry loaf to make and can be ready to eat in under an hour. It’s a small loaf for 4-6 people. It keeps well for a couple of days because of the almonds and coconut, but I can assure you it will be gone when it’s still warm out the oven. There are no fancy, tricky techniques to use here, nor special equipment. I have this really cute little Small loaf pan 15cm long X 8cm wide X 6cm deep loaf pan which fits perfectly into my air fryer. It’s my go-to loaf pan now for my air fryer loaves. Even if you don’t have one of these pans, you can still make this easy blueberry loaf by dividing the batter into 4-6 coffee cups instead. Adjust the time to 18-20 minutes. You need 2 bowls and a whisk and spatula and you are all set.
