I made this for the first time today. The bananas I used were huge and I didn’t think to account for that. But 3 1/2hrs later in my all-in-one set to slow cooker mode and it’s PERFECT. It weighs 1.6kg!!
I’ll be making another tonight with smaller bananas as I was gifted a 1kg tin of sweetened condensed milk that needs to be used. Lol

This is so easy and absolutely scrumptious. Soft, moist and light. I added some whole white choc melts just because I could. My children loved it. I said to my daughter, “This is good.” She said, “Are you kidding me! This is GREAT!” I am so excited. The first cake iny SC to work for me. Thrilled. Will definitely make this again.

I have just made this cake, as l was interested how it would turn out, l had it cooking for 2 and half hours, but still the same colour as it was when l put it in, but it was cooked, so l put it in the over regards gas mark 6 for 15 minutes to brown it off, how is it some of your reviews say it burns, would of thought that was impossible.
I have been making fruit cakes for years in my slow cooker.
The banana cake however was a lovely flavour and not to sweet.

Most use a standard 6L cooker Kevin but you could make it in a smaller one no worries, it will just be thicker so need more time 🙂

What a little gem. I used evaporated milk, some sunflower seeds + coconut and right at end sprinkled with dark sugar. Delicious by itself but loved it with honey. Thumbs up from all ages too.

Trying this for the first time today. It’s been in for 2 hours 20 so far but still sticky on the middle so going to leave it a bit longer. Can’t wait to taste it though as I never bake so if this works, it could be my new favourite thing!!

I believe it would be too small

Could you make this in the 1.5ltr S.C. Or would it be too small ?

Loved this. Made it today for the first with ripened bananas. So cheap and easy. Will DEFINITELY be making this again, we always have bananas Ready to be baked 👌

Delicious and sooo easy!
I tried it with caramel condensed milk which I highly recommend. If you don’t have self raising flour you can use plain flour with 5 tsp baking powder.

Once our bananas have ripened enough if master 4 doesn’t eat them all before hand going to give this cake a crack.

Found this recepie a great start for a novice at baking in the slow cooker. I cooked it for about 2.5hrs as wasn’t sure but could probably have got away with 2 hours. I also added dark and white choc chips. When I try it again I all thinking walnuts!!! Great recipe

Loved it but mine got a bit burnt on one side so may reduce the cooking time . But it’s a winner from all of us here ! Could just be my slow cooker may cook too high . But tastes delicious !

Yes a smaller cooker will make it higher 🙂

What is the best size cooker to do this Banana Bread in? I used the 5ltr and it came out great but not real high- would it be better in the 3ltr? My grand daughter wants to know “Is it fattening”?
Tracy

I’m thinking of giving it a try but using Fejoa instead of banana. Would do anything different

Tried this today after wanting to try it for months. Sadly no one in my family really liked it. Maybe an alternative to the condensed milk might make a difference for us. Added a weird flavour.

I’m pretty sure looking at the picture this one was done in a 6L 🙂

Think I undercooked it by like 5 or 10minutes. It was in for 2hrs 10minutes.
But still tasted great! Would go well with tea or coffee ^_^
Round slow cooker turned it as suggested just in case didn’t want it burning on one side if it did happen to have a hot spot. Also sprayed the baking paper as suggested came off perfectly.

If it’s a round cooking pot in your slow cooker it’s just a hot spot on one side
Rotate the bowl during cooking every 15mins or so and you won’t have any burnt spots 🙂

I have used this recipe a few times now but it appears that every time I make it one side of the cake is always burnt..tjis happen to any one else.

Spray the paper with non stick spray first 🙂

Yum! BUT… probably needed longer as it’s still quite stodgy in the middle (there was NO way mr 3 1/2 was going to wait any longer though!!). Will definitely make it again!

Nice flavour but not really a cake- far too doughy and dense and texture not enjoyable

I have made this a few times now, always forget to comment! I didnt have self-raising flour last time, so I added baking powder + plain flour…. and that was the first time it was “dry” – but it was still gobbled up anyway!! 17 month old loved it.

I only have 3 bananas. Would I get away with using just the three and just say a cup of frozen raspberries? 🙂
Belinda Sullivan

Going to put lemon zest icing on top 🍋

Karen you could add anything to flavour your bread to your liking. I always add walnuts its delicious
Mum
May 28, 2016
Love it 🙂 You can also add passionfruit (we have a vine so are always looking at ways to include them) this works really well.

Has anyone tried adding walnuts? Would it work?

Love this cake and so easy to make, I use extra greaseproof paper on the bottom so it doesn’t burn x
Ricky

Cook this all the time it is closer to 1 hr 40 after that it burns, I’m sure all slow cookers are different just keep an eye on it.

I can vouch this was an absolute hit for my two boys and daughter. Be sure to check cooking towards the end with a skewer. If it comes out clean you are done. If you are looking for a simple, sweet, slow cooked cake with that banana punch…. Look no further!

I decided to make this after seeing the recipe, 2 hours ago. I added shredded coconut, instead of choc bits. It is beautiful, & will become a re
gular. Definitely a 5 star for me!.
