Don’t have access to an oven? Is it too hot in your kitchen to cook? Do you need to run errands and can’t sit around babysitting your oven? Want to wake up in the morning to a hot breakfast? These are all reasons to start baking with your crock pot!
This was my first time making banana bread in the crock pot and I am hooked on it already! You can pretty much follow any banana bread recipe but here is the one I used:
Ingredients:
– 2 cups flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup butter, softened
– 1 cup sugar
– 2 eggs
– 3 large ripe bananas
– 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla
– approx. half a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Turn crock pot on high
2. Mix flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl
3. In another bowl (I used my KitchenAid Mixer) Cream butter with sugar. Add eggs, one at a time. Add milk and vanilla. Stir in bananas until well mixed. gradually add flour mixture. Stir until combined. Add chocolate chips.
4. Grease and flour bread pan and add batter.
5. Place a cookie cutter (or crumpled aluminum foil) at the bottom of crock pot. Place bread pan on top.
6. Cover crock pot with paper towels and place lid loosely on top. Bake for 3 hours. Do not check on bread until after it’s cooked for 2 hours. I actually cooked mine for closer to 4 hours but that might have been because I kept checking in on it.
This was by far the moistest bread I have ever tasted! Even though the edges look dark, they were as soft and chewy as the center. The whole loaf was gone in less than 48 hours!

Could you use zucchini instead of bananas? I have a ton and my oven is broke.
Thank you, I’ve recently been searching for information about this subject for ages and yours is the greatest I have discovered so far. But, what about the conclusion? Are you sure about the source?
I truly enjoy looking through on this internet site, it holds superb posts.
This recipe has become a family & friend favorite! My family also likes to add nuts and sometimes coconut.
We have also learned that cooking time can change depending on how full the pans are. We get 2 loaves in our glass pans in 2 hours, but the 3 using the disposable foil ones only took 1.5 hours.
I tried crock-pot banana bread for the first time last summer when my kitchen felt like a sauna, and honestly… life-changing. There’s something magical about going grocery shopping, running errands, and coming home to that warm banana-chocolate smell. And yes, I kept lifting the lid too, patience is not my gift. I joked that my slow cooker was acting up and almost went looking through Smart Cellular reviews https://smart-cellular.pissedconsumer.com/review.html the same way I panic-search every time my phone glitches.
