Crockpot Banana Bread Recipe
A simple and delicious banana bread made in a crockpot for a moist, golden loaf with a perfect balance of sweetness. The crockpot method makes it easy to prepare with minimal effort and maximum flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Transfer to Crockpot: Grease the crockpot insert with butter or cooking spray. Pour the banana bread batter into the crockpot.
- Cook the Banana Bread: Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the banana bread cool completely in the crockpot before transferring it to a cooling rack. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.
- Freezing: Wrap each slice in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw before serving, and drain any excess liquid if necessary.
- Variations: Add chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit for extra flavor.
