got ripe bananas?

Arrow

1. set crockpot to high

THIS IS JUST LIKE PREHEATING YOUR REGULAR OVEN BE SURE TO TAKE THE STONE LINER OUT FIRST

2. mash with a fork

NO FANCY EQUIPMENT NEEDED USE A PLATE OR SHALLOW PIE DISH THIS MAKES MASHING REALLY EASY

here are the ingredients

2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt ⅔ cup chopped walnuts ½ cup unsalted butter softened 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups mashed ripe bananas

3. combine bananas with wet ingredients

THE SOFTENED BUTTER IN THIS RECIPE ADDS SO MUCH GREAT FLAVOR MOST BANANA BREADS USE OIL - NOT THIS ONE

4. place dough in the preheated crockpot

A ROUND CROCKPOT WORKS BEST FOR THIS RECIPE. THE OBLONG VERSIONS SPREAD THE DOUGH OUT A LITTLE TOO MUCH

5. bake for about two and a half hours

 A TOOTHPICK WORKS GREAT TO TEST FOR DONENESS. JUST POKE IT IN THE CENTER OF THE BREAD. IF UNCOOKED DOUGH STILL CLINGS TO IT, BAKE FOR ANOTHER 20 MINUTES OR SO

6. remove the banana bread and place on a cooling rack

 THE ROUND LOAF OF BANANA BREAD IS SO APPEALING AND THE SMELL - IT'S AMAZING!

7. Who knew you could bake in a crockpot?cut into wedges, so delicious!! ENJOY

TENDER AND MOIST. THIS IS WONDERFUL TO SERVE WARM, OR CHILLED.
