Perfect for summer, or all year round. You are not going to be disappointed in this sweet treat. It’s perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.
what is the best way to store this recipe?
I love this recipe, and my family does as well, that we usually don’t have many leftover. However, if you do have some leftover, the best way to store them is putting them in the fridge.
We recommend placing them in an air tight storage container, and putting them in the fridge.
If you aren’t going to eat them for more than a week, we recommend freezing them. Again the best way to freeze them is placing them in an airtight storage container and putting them in the freezer.
They will last nicely in the freezer for about 2 weeks, and in the fridge, about 3-5 days.
To thaw them, we recommend placing them in the fridge overnight and serving them the next day. You could also give it a little microwave to warm it up, (after it thaws) and it will taste like it came straight out of the oven.
what is a substitute for bananas?
This bread obviously can’t be entirely substituted, however, if you only have a banana or two, you could always use a little applesauce.
It is the perfect healthy and quick alternative, that will still give the bread a sweet flavor. we recommend just a little over a half of cup of applesauce, to replace one mashed banana.
Ripe bananas also work best for this recipe. They are more sweet and bake a little better.

Save RecipeIngredients
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 Cup Butter (softened stick, or melted in microwave)
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 2 Cups Flour
- 1 Teasponn Baking Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/8 Teaspoon Nutmeg
- 3 Medium Bananas Mashed
- 3/4 Cup Sliced Almonds (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your crockpot by buttering or using non stick cooking spray to coat the bottom half of the crockpot.
- In a bowl, stir together butter, sugar, and eggs, until well combined.
- Add baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to butter and sugar mixture.
- Stir in flour. The mixture will be a little dry at this point.
- Combine dough with mashed bananas and almonds, stir until well combined.
- Pour mixture into crockpot. Cover top of crockpot with 2-3 paper towels, and place the lid overtop. This will keep the bread moist while cooking.
- Cook on low for 4 hours. The top will be slightly browned when done and toothpick inserted in the middle will come out warm.
- After 4 hours, take a butter knife and run it along the edges of the bread to loosen the loaf. Flip it upsidedown onto a platter and let it cool. Enjoy!
