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

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
- Mash the bananas well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are completely smooth. This will help to create a moist and tender loaf of bread.
- Use a combination of flours: This recipe uses a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour. This helps to create a loaf of bread that is both light and fluffy, and also has a bit of a nutty flavor.
- Add in some nuts or seeds: For a little extra crunch and flavor, you can add in some nuts or seeds to your banana bread batter. Some popular options include walnuts, pecans, almonds, and chia seeds.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough and dense loaf of bread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread at a low temperature: This recipe bakes the bread at 325 degrees Fahrenheit. This helps to prevent the bread from drying out and also gives it a chance to rise slowly and evenly.
Conclusion:
This crock pot banana bread recipe is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this classic treat. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like it plain, with nuts, or with chocolate chips, this recipe is sure to please everyone.
