Ingredients

  • 3 large bananas very ripe and mashed
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted 1 stick
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts divided

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line your slow cooker with parchment paper. Do this in 2 long strips, making removing the bread easier. Then spray the slow cooker with nonstick spray.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl. Then add the melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla to the mashed bananas.
  3. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
  4. Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of the walnuts.
  6. Pour the banana bread mixture into the slow cooker and spread out evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of walnuts over the top of the bread.
  8. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
  9. Start checking to see if your bread is done around 3 ½ hours. Slow cookers vary greatly, and your cooking time may be longer or shorter.
  10. When a toothpick inserted comes out clean, your bread is ready.
  11. Use the edges of the parchment paper to remove the bread from the slow cooker.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for the best texture and flavor.
  • Line and grease your Crock Pot. Doing both will make taking the bread out in one piece a breeze. You can also use a slow cooker liner.
  • Slice into wedges or long slices.
  • You can leave the nuts out altogether, substitute your favorite nut or use chocolate chips or blueberries.
