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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the melted unsalted butter until fully combined.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using).

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If desired, fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared crock pot, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Enjoy your warm and delicious crock pot banana bread!
