I remember writing this recipe a million moons ago.
My daughter had just got home from the hospital, and the midnight feeds were killing me.
I needed sugar to get through.
But I also needed something filling.
So I cleaned out my slow cooker and instead of cooking my fav GF banana bread in the oven, I cooked it in the slow cooker.
Tea towel under the lid to catch the condensation.
Timer on.
And it was done.
This bread was so nourishing, I served it to my two boys for brekkie with cottage cheese and yoghurt on top.
And I ate it with oodles of butter.
OODLES!
It’s the best.
Not overly sweet.
Feels filling, but not heavy.
And if you’re in the trenches, feeling like there’s no time to make a nourishing meal, grab your slow cooker. Whack it on in the morning on low, or at lunchtime on the high setting and let it cook away.

Description
Grab your slow cooker and make healthy banana bread in it! True! You can!
I often bake in my slow cooker. I've got a Slow Cooker Nutella Brownie, Berry Dumplings and even crunchy Slow Cooker Muesli!
But for now, grab those sad looking bananas and make a banana bread from them!
Ingredients
6 eggs
160g melted butter
150ml rice or maple syrup
4 medium bananas
80g tapioca flour
80g brown rice flour
60g coconut flour
2 tspns baking powder
2 tspns cinnamon
Topping:
1/2 cup ground nuts or seeds (I did sunflower, chia and sesame seeds so I could send it to school)
Handful of crushed chocolate
Instructions
STEP 1. Blend the melted butter with the eggs and bananas until combined and starting to get airy. That's about 7 seconds in my thermomix.
STEP 2. Now pop everything else in and give it a good stir until it's just combined. You don't want to over-mix the coconut flour as it can thicken the mixture and dry it out.
STEP 3. Line your slow cooker with parchment paper and pour the mixture in. Then sprinkle the topping over and give it a really light press down.
STEP 4: Cover the top of the slow cooker with a tea towel and pop the lid on. Leave it to cook for 3.5 hours on low, with the last half an hour popping the lid (and tea towel) off. That will help it get a gorgeous brown colour on top.
Notes
Allergies:
Dairy-free: Sub the butter for macadamia or avocado oil
Egg-free: I would skip this version.
