Do you have a million brown bananas? Don’t want to turn on your oven to make banana bread? No worries! Make banana bread in your slow cooker! Yes, it can be done. I have made banana bread many times in the slow cooker but this is the first time that I’ve made banana bread marbled with Nutella. YUM! Loved it. Pretty much love anything with Nutella.

Can I use glass loaf pan in the slow cooker?
Yes I think that would work well.
This was amazing!!! My husband and I loved it! We ended up cooking it in the oven for about an hour. The dough around the nutella didn’t really cook, but that is why we loved it so much. It was gooey and delicious. I say that though because you should not do the toothpick test around the nutella; do it in the deepest part without nutella.
Yum!
Did this recipe, love it, the results were delicious, super
Easy to do. Definitely doing it again. Thanks for the recipe
That’s so great to hear! Thanks for the comment ๐
I just found this recipe and love it. I didn't have a rack, so I used two canning rings to raise my loaf pan above the bottom of the slow cooker. Since the price of propane has increased exponentially, I have been using my slow cooker more than ever before. Thanks for teaching me how to use it in new ways!
Lettie, great idea with the canning rings!!! Thanks for sharing ๐
Sure, Laura! Get crazy!
Love that you added Nutella to banana bread! Could you add walnuts as well?
