This recipe for Crock-Pot Nutella Banana Bread combines banana bread with a yummy swirl of Nutella chocolate hazelnut spread, all cooked in the slow cooker!
Slow Cooker Nutella Banana Bread
I love being able to bake quick breads like this Nutella swirled banana bread in my slow cooker. The bread always comes out moist and yummy without me having to heat up the oven.
This recipe was totally inspired by the recipe from Six Sisters Stuff. The only real difference is that I baked mine in the slow cooker. And the bread came out super yummy!
The flavor combination of warm banana bread swirled with chocolate and hazelnut was AMAZING and this is a recipe I will be making again and again! Next time I may even add some toasted chopped hazelnuts (also known as filberts in some parts of the world) to a loaf and see if I like the added crunch!
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Can I Store The Baked Crock-Pot Nutella Banana Bread?
This bread can be stored tightly wrapped in plastic or foil for up to 3 days on the counter-top at room temperature, 1 week in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer. To wrap for the freezer simply allow the bread to fully cool on a cooling rack and then wrap the loaf in a double layer of plastic cling-film, then place the wrapped loaf of bread in a zip top gallon sized freezer food storage bag.
Can I Make This Recipe Gluten Free?
This recipe has been tested using gluten free Cup4Cup flour and it came out great. That being said, we have not tested other gluten-free flours or flour substitutes so cannot guarantee the results.

Do I Need To Use A Mixer To Make This Recipe?
While a hand mixer is nice to use for this quick bread recipe, is it not necessary. You can cream the softened butter and eggs with a wooden spoon and mix the batter by hand. It will just take a little more time and effort. The results, however will still be fantastic.

This is a ” crockpot recipe” you say grease a bread pan, then cook and remove from crockpot. Are you saying set a bread pan in the crockpot or can the bread just cook in the crockpot? confusing.
sorry, didnt mean for it to be confusing. You can put this straight in the crock-pot if you want. But, it will not be as bread shaped as you might want. It also might be hard to remove. The larger crock-pots are big enough to fit a cooking pan into. I have two bread pans (rectangle long pans) that fit in my 6qt. I can put the bread in, and then remove it really easy. If this is not possible, you can also line the bottom with foil and make a “tray” so to speak and this will allow you to pull out the bread when it is done. I hope this helps. If not, ask away!
