Steps:
- Put your butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat until well combined and fluffy
- Add in your eggs and beat until they are mix in well
- Grab a different bowl and mix together your flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda
- Alternate back and forth between adding a little of your flour mixture and a little of your banana to your sugar mixture while stirring until all is combined well
- Sprinkle your chopped walnuts on top and stir into your batter
- Pour your batter into a greased standard loaf pan that will fit in your 6-quart slow cooker (I used my Crock Pot 6-quart Cook and Carry). The pan will likely sit on the edges of the slow cooker and not go completely down and that is completely okay.
- Put your bread pan in your slow cooker. If it will fit all the way down, place it on a rack so it does not sit directly on the bottom. If you do not have a rack (and your pan fits all the way down), you can pour about 1/2 cup of water in the crock around the outside of the pan.
- Place several paper towels over the top on your pan to catch excess water from the lid. Be careful not to get the paper towel into your batter.
- Cover and cook on high setting for 2-3 hours, until it can pass the toothpick test

MOIST & DELICIOUS BANANA NUT BREAD
I got this recipe when I was 12 and have used it for the past 33 years and haven't found one better! My son used it when he was 12 at the California State Fair and won a first place ribbon with it. It is just simply delicious & moist. I either make a loaf or put it into muffin cups & make muffins for my kids to grab in the morning on their way to school. Using margarine makes the muffins come out in a better form, but the butter has a better flavor, so I usually use 1/2 of each to get the best of both worlds.

Steps:
- Cream butter & sugar. Add vanilla & eggs. Combine dry ingredients, add alternately with bananas & milk. Add nuts if desired. Grease & flour 1 bread pan (2-3 smaller pans) or pour into muffin cups. For loaf bake at 350 for 45-60 minute Muffins 350 for 20-25min. Enjoy!
- *Note- I usually use a smaller bread pan to make the 2 loaves, or use a larger one and just make 1 big loaf, but it will need to bake longer. I adjusted the time because people had been saying it was over baking, now people are saying it's under baked. I would use the old fashion test of a tooth pick at 45 min, then at 1 hour -- up to 1 hour & 30 min if needed. Hope that helps!
SLOW-COOKER BOURBON BANANA BREAD
This banana bread is full of surprises. First, it's spiked with the flavors of bourbon, pecans and chocolate chips (topped with a bourbon glaze and more pecans for good measure). And because it's baked in your slow cooker, there's not need to heat up the oven.
