Equipment

  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • mixing bowls
  • slow cooker
  • parchment paper

Ingredients

  • ½ cup melted butter
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large very ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cups chopped walnuts divided

Instructions

  • Line your slow cooker with parchment paper, I like to do this in 2 long strips making it easier to remove the bread.
  • Spray the slow cooker with non-stick spray.
  • In a large bowl combine the melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
  • Stir in the mashed bananas.
  • In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  • Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Stir in 1 cup of the walnuts.
  • Pour the batter into the slow cooker and spread out evenly.
  • Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of walnuts over the top of the bread.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
  • Start checking to see if your bread is done around 3 ½ hours. Slow Cookers vary greatly and yours may cook hotter or slower than others.
  • When a toothpick inserted comes out clean your bread is ready.
  • Use the edges of the parchment paper to remove the bread from the slow cooker.
  • Let cool slightly.
  • Slice and serve!
