Slow Cooker Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
This recipe for banana bread filled with delectable little morsels of chocolate chips literally turned out divine! My family just LOVED it and it has now become a recipe I make all the time whenever I have overripe bananas to use up.
Who knew the best place to cook banana bread was in a slow cooker?!
I seriously love using my slow cooker for baking because it allows me to bake delicious goodies like this chocolate chips banana bread without having to turn on my oven and heat up the whole house.
For this recipe you do need to find yourself a bread pan that will fit inside your oval slow cooker. I have a 6 quart oval slow cooker and used this loaf pan which fits inside my crock.
This is the best method of baking this banana bread by far. But if you want to bake it right in the slow cooker insert you can give it a try. I have found when baking right in the slow cooker insert that the bread has a slightly more tendency to overcook on the sides. So just watch your bread a little more closely and rotate the slow cooker insert to prevent overcooking if your slow cooker has spots that cook a little hotter than other spots.

Nutrition
I would like to try this dish, but instead of sugar, how would honey do?
If your able to substitute honey for sugar in regular banana bread, then I would think it would work. No guarantee’s though, I have never tried it.
Hi I have dry yeast available but no baking soda or powder. Can I substitute it with yeast instead? And how much do I put in?
I wouldn’t think so.
