Description

This Crock Pot Banana Bread recipe offers a moist, tender, and flavorful banana bread made effortlessly using a slow cooker. With mashed bananas, optional chocolate chips, and nuts, it’s a perfect sweet treat that requires minimal hands-on time and no oven baking.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large whole eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened and cubed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 medium-sized bananas, mashed

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup nuts (walnuts or pecans), chopped

Instructions

  1. Mix Butter, Eggs, and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, eggs, and granulated sugar. Beat the mixture well until it is smooth and slightly fluffy.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients (First Half): Stir in the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 cup of the all-purpose flour. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Add Remaining Flour: Add the second cup of all-purpose flour to the mixture and stir until the batter becomes thick and uniform.
  4. Incorporate Mashed Bananas: Mash the bananas thoroughly and fold them into the batter. Mix until the bananas are fully incorporated, giving the batter a rich, moist texture.
  5. Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, gently fold in the chocolate chips and/or chopped nuts to add texture and extra flavor to the banana bread.
  6. Prepare Crock Pot: Lightly butter the inside of a small crock pot dish to prevent sticking, then pour the batter evenly inside.
  7. Cook: Place the dish inside a 6-quart crock pot and cook on the low setting for 4 hours. The banana bread is done when the top is slightly browned and the bread springs back when touched.

Notes

  • Ensure bananas are well mashed for a moist bread consistency.
  • Using a small crock pot dish helps the banana bread cook evenly and thoroughly.
  • The optional chocolate chips and nuts can be adjusted or omitted based on preference.
  • Check the banana bread towards the end of cooking time, as crock pot models may vary in heat intensity.
  • Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing to ensure clean slices.
