CROCK POT BANANA BREAD



Crock Pot Banana Bread image

We love this Crock Pot Banana Bread recipe. It is easy to make and deliciously moist and flavorful.

Provided by Cris

Categories     Side

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup butter (softened)
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs (beaten)
1.75 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup ripe bananas (mashed)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Put your butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat until well combined and fluffy
  • Add in your eggs and beat until they are mix in well
  • Grab a different bowl and mix together your flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda
  • Alternate back and forth between adding a little of your flour mixture and a little of your banana to your sugar mixture while stirring until all is combined well
  • Sprinkle your chopped walnuts on top and stir into your batter
  • Pour your batter into a greased standard loaf pan that will fit in your 6-quart slow cooker (I used my Crock Pot 6-quart Cook and Carry). The pan will likely sit on the edges of the slow cooker and not go completely down and that is completely okay.
  • Put your bread pan in your slow cooker. If it will fit all the way down, place it on a rack so it does not sit directly on the bottom. If you do not have a rack (and your pan fits all the way down), you can pour about 1/2 cup of water in the crock around the outside of the pan.
  • Place several paper towels over the top on your pan to catch excess water from the lid. Be careful not to get the paper towel into your batter.
  • Cover and cook on high setting for 2-3 hours, until it can pass the toothpick test

HEALTHY BANANA BREAD



Healthy Banana Bread image

This easy, healthy banana bread is the best! Moist, fluffy, and ultra delicious. Made with yogurt and whole wheat. So yummy and good for you!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Dessert     Snack

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups mashed overripe bananas (about 11 ounces or 3 large)
1 large egg
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (I used nonfat. OK to substitute vanilla, though the bread will be a bit sweeter.)
2 tablespoons canola oil ( or melted cooled coconut oil*)
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips ( or chopped dark chocolate (optional))

Steps:

  • Place the rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • Mash the bananas in the bottom of a large bowl until mostly smooth.
  • Whisk in the egg, then the yogurt and oil.
  • Whisk in the brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda, cinnamon, and salt over the top, then stir until combined.
  • Gently stir in the flour until barely combined, then fold in any mix-ins.
  • Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Check at the 35-minute mark and tent with foil if the bread is browning too quickly at the corners. Place the pan on a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes. Remove from pan and place on rack to finish cooling completely (for neat slicing), or enjoy warm and don't worry if the slices are messy.

CROCK POT BANANA BREAD

If your crock pot didn't come with a rack you can use an aluminum pie plate that is vented w/ holes, and cut the sides to fit the pot. For the "unit" I just used a non-stick bread pan.

Tips:

  • Choosing Ripe Bananas: Opt for bananas with dark yellow skins and brown spots. These provide intense flavor and natural sweetness, reducing the need for additional sugar.
  • Measuring Flour Accurately: Use the spoon-and-level method to measure the flour. Scoop the flour into the measuring cup with a spoon, then level it off with a knife.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour too much, making the banana bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Using a Smaller Crock Pot: If using a smaller crock pot, reduce the cooking time. Check the bread for doneness sooner.
  • Testing for Doneness: Insert a toothpick or knife into the center of the banana bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Preventing Soggy Bottoms: Place a piece of parchment paper over the bottom of the crock pot before pouring in the batter. This helps prevent the bottom of the banana bread from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

With its simple preparation, moist texture, and irresistible banana flavor, this crock-pot healthier banana bread recipe is an easy winner. By following these tips, you can ensure perfect results every time you make it. From choosing ripe bananas to preventing a soggy bottom, these tips will guide you towards delicious homemade banana bread. So gather your ingredients, turn on your crock pot, and get ready to enjoy a healthier version of this classic treat!
