We love banana bread, but not for days on end. This small loaf is perfect for a treat lasting a day or two. The paper towels prevent the natural build-up of steam from potentially dripping on the loaf and making the bread soggy.
Ingredients
Makes 1 small loaf
Step 1
1. Place a cookie cutter, Mason jar ring, or a ring made from aluminum foil inside the slow cooker. Butter a 5-inch mini loaf pan and set aside.
Step 2
2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Add oil, brown sugar, egg yolk, banana, milk, and vanilla, stirring just until flour mixture is incorporated. Fold in nuts.
Step 3
3. Scrape batter into prepared loaf pan. Transfer loaf pan to sit on top of ring in slow cooker.
Step 4
4. Place paper towels, still attached together, folded as necessary, over the top of the slow cooker. Cover and cook on High for 2 hours. When a toothpick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean, the bread is cooked. If it does not emerge clean, continue cooking an additional 30 minutes.
Step 5
5. Carefully remove the loaf pan from the slow cooker. Run a knife around the inside of the loaf pan and turn the loaf out onto a rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Back to TopReally delicious. Used coconut oil instead of veggie oil. Good call. I also used less sugar. I tripled the recipe, but only doubled the sugar. I think this was a good decision because I added a sh*t ton of chocolate chips. Slow cooker is dumb. Just use your oven. When you triple the recipe it fits in a standard loaf pan, and cooks in an oven at 350 degrees F in about an hour. The end result was killer, even though it fell apart because I forgot to oil my pan.

I was told by my food critics, aka husband and kid's that this was the best banana bread ever. So it gets 4 stars. Note I added shredded coconut instead of traditional walnuts.

I doubled the recipe and cooked it in a ceramic bowl. I also had to cook it an additional 30 minutes. It was excellent.

sounds lovely, I'd like to try it - how do you think it'll work using gluten free flour?

method benefit: you don't have to heat the oven/kitchen to prepare it. Sounds good for a cool, lazy brunch/lunch for two. However, the calorie count give me pause.

Although I'm sure this is good, I can't justify baking something for 2 1/2 hours in my slow cooker when I can bake the same size loaf in 30 minutes.
