Slow Cooker Banana Bread
"I made slow cooker banana bread for the first time, and it turned out tasty enough to share with you. Why make slow cooker breads during the blazing hot summer? Well, to avoid turning the oven on, for one. We also found ourselves overrun with bananas which happens way too often. I freeze some for smoothies, but banana bread sounds good to me all year round. On my search for a new unique banana bread recipe to try, I found Slow Cooker Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. I've heard of slow cooker bread recipes, so I thought I'd give one a whirl myself. Ever since my Instant Pot purchase, the Crock-Pot has been collecting dust. I also burnt Mike out on Crock-Pot dinners. He's now convinced that everything from the slow cooker tastes the same. He even thought the slow cooker banana bread would most definitely taste like chicken."
NotesPlay around with add-ins like nuts or different flavor chips. I am happy to know that slow cooker breads turn out well. There are so many times when the oven is already in use, or I just don't feel like turning it on. Using the slow cooker to make bread opens up a lot of options to make quick breads more often.

Add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix to combine.
-
Fold in the chips. I don't think I used enough chips. Feel free to increase the amount
-
Spray your slow cooker with baking spray and pour the mixture in. I ran out of baking spray and pretty much sprayed out air. I think that's another reason why my edges burned.

Place a paper towel under the lid to help absorb moisture. Remove the paper towel during the last half hour of cooking.
