Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 0.333 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Instructions
Prepare the crock pot by placing a sheet of parchment paper inside, ensuring it covers the bottom and slightly up the sides for easy removal of the banana bread.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the melted unsalted butter until fully combined.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using).
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared crock pot, spreading it out evenly.
Place a kitchen towel or double layer of paper towels under the slow cooker lid to absorb condensation and prevent it from dripping onto the bread.
Cook on HIGH for 2.5 hours or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the banana bread comes out clean. Cooking times may vary depending on your crock pot, so start checking for doneness at the 2-hour mark.
Once done, carefully lift the banana bread out of the crock pot using the parchment paper. Let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your warm and delicious crock pot banana bread!
