Slow Cooker Pecan Banana Bread Recipe
I love using my crock pot and I make all kinds of delicious treats inside it from soups, stews, casseroles, desserts and even baked goods from time to time.
A few months ago my sister shared her Slow Cooker Banana Bread Recipe with me and since that time, I have been using it since. I love that I can mix it up, put it in and walk away. Its really convenient for me and it makes a very moist bread!
Note: Once cooled, you can wrap and freeze this bread for up to 3 months because it freezes very well! I wrap mine in a few layers of plastic wrap and then slide my wrapped slices into a freezer bag. I can thaw all of it at one time or just a few slices at a time.
- 1/4 cup wheat germ
- 2/3 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup mashed banana
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
- non-stick baking spray
- water
- Spray a 1 quart baking dish with the non-sticking baking spray, coating the inside well. Sprinkle a tad of wheat flour on top of the surface.
- In a large mixing bowl cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar and the large eggs until well combined. Beat in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until batter is smooth in consistency.
- Slowly beat in the wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda and the salt. You want to do this slowly so that the batter isn’t flying all over the place. Hand stir in the finely chopped pecans.
- Pour your bread batter into your prepared pan. Pour 2″ of water into the bottom of your slow cooker, you will want to set your baking pan down inside the water.
- Place the pan into your slow cooker (the crock pot), cover and cook on the high setting for 2 hours or until the center is done. If you notice it getting too brown around the edges and top, reduce your slow cooker heat to medium or low.
- Remove from slow cooker and let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 20 minutes. Slice and remove bread from pan and store slices in an air tight container.
Looking for a new slow cooker? I have three of them and use them all of the time. The last two that I got…I purchased from Amazon and love them!
