BANANA BREAD IN THE CROCK POT

 Okay my question is what does 3 overly ripe bananas and an empty crock pot make? They answer is banana bread! Usually I make banana muffins but this time I decided to try banana bread in the crock pot. This bread is more like dessert bread that’s a little denser but every bit as tasty. The only problem is you need to find a glass bowl or crock bowl that will fit in your crock pot to bake the bread in. So I was looking franticly through my cabinets trying to find a bowl to use when I had one of those aha moments. I looked up and saw one of my smaller crock pots. A 2 ½ quart size that fit perfectly in my 6 quart crock pot. Now I have another reason to have more than one crock pot. Who would have thought to put a crock pot inside of  a crock pot? Well it worked perfectly and my dessert was done by midnight after 4 hours of cooking. Yes I decided to start it about 8 o’ clock. So we had dessert  at midnight and then finished it off for breakfast the next day. My suggestion would be to start this a little earlier in the afternoon to have for dessert but it was well worth the wait.

 

 

INGREDIENTS:

2 eggs

½ cup of softened butter

1 cup of sugar

2 cups of flour

1 tsp. baking powder     

½ tsp. of baking soda

½ tsp. salt

3 medium bananas mashed

DIRECTIONS:

Combine the butter, eggs and sugar in a medium size bowl and mix well. Add the baking powder, baking soda, salt and 1 cup of flour. Then add the last cup of flour and mix well. Then add the mashed bananas. Next butter a small glass dish and pour the mixture in. Place in a 6 quart crock pot and cover and cook on low for 4 hours. When done the bread should bounce back to touch and the top will be slightly brown.
