Grease the inner pot of your rice cooker lightly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Melt the butter in a microwave or saucepan, then let it cool slightly before adding to the mashed bananas. Stir to combine.
Add the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Whisk until smooth and well-combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the greased rice cooker pot. Smooth the top of the batter with the back of a spoon.
Place the pot into the rice cooker and set it to the 'Cook' function. Let it cook for 60 minutes, checking after 45 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the banana bread is done.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the rice cooker pot for about 10-15 minutes before carefully removing it.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
