CrockPot Nutella Banana Bread
Ingredients
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
¾ Teaspoon Baking Soda
½ Teaspoon Kosher Salt
¼ Cup Unsalted Butter (At Room Temperature)
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
2 Large Eggs
1 ¼ Cups Mashed Banana (About 3 Medium Bananas)
⅓ Cup Milk
1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
¾ Cup Nutella
Directions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each egg.
Add mashed bananas, milk and vanilla and mix until combined.
Slowly mix in the dry ingredients until everything is moistened and mixed together.
Measure out the Nutella into a small microwave safe bowl. Microwave on LOW for about 30 seconds or until the Nutella is melted and smooth when stirred with a spoon.
Measure out 1 cup of the banana bread batter and pour into a small bowl. Mix this small amount of batter with the melted Nutella. Set aside.
Butter or spray with non-stick cooking spray a loaf pan that will fit inside your 6 quart or larger oval slow cooker.
Add the batter (the one without the Nutella) to the prepared loaf pan.
Spoon the batter with the Nutella on top of the plain batter and swirl together with a butter knife.
Place the loaf pan inside your slow cooker and place a clean kitchen towel or a layer of paper towels between the lid and the slow cooker insert.
Cook on HIGH for 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the banana bread comes out clean.
Carefully remove the loaf pan from the slow cooker and place on a cooling rack and allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before removing baked bread from the pan.
Serve banana bread warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
