Ingredients

Scale

Banana Bread Base

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas and melted butter until well combined, creating a smooth base.
  2. Add Vanilla and Egg: Stir in the vanilla extract and egg, mixing until the batter is smooth and uniform.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the sugar, baking soda, and pinch of salt, stirring until these are fully integrated into the mixture.
  4. Mix in Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, gently mixing just until incorporated to avoid overworking the batter. Fold in the optional nuts or chocolate chips if using.
  5. Prepare Crockpot: Grease the inside of your Crockpot to prevent sticking. Pour the banana bread batter evenly into the Crockpot.
  6. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low heat for 4 to 6 hours. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the banana bread to cool slightly in the Crockpot before slicing and serving to ensure clean slices and enhanced flavor.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the Crockpot size and model.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the nuts or replace with chocolate chips.
  • You can check doneness after 4 hours to avoid overcooking.
  • Allow the bread to cool properly before removing from the Crockpot to prevent breaking.
