Slow Cooker Bourbon Banana Bread

This banana bread is full of surprises. First, it’s spiked with the flavors of bourbon, pecans and chocolate chips (topped with a bourbon glaze and more pecans for good measure). And because it’s baked in your slow cooker, there’s not need to heat up the oven.

Expert Tips

Slow cookers vary. Keep an eye on your bread while it's baking so it does not get overdone. Use a slow cooker with a white ceramic base for best results.

Free up the oven with this great slow cooker banana bread.

To toast pecans, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.

"original, all-purpose baking mix"??? What is this? A cake mix? If so, what type? Is it Bisquick? I won't use it so, does someone have quantities and ingredients for making my own? If I can make it from scratch, I'll give it 5 starts; if not, 1 star. For those who don't know what to use in place of bourbon - try a little bourbon extract, just not too much. Thanks. I'll check back for an answer.

What changes need to be made to the recipe to use the GF Bisquick?

Regarding the removable liner. I have an older type too and I use a clean coffee can that fits inside my crock pot. I follow the recipe directions and put the ingredients into my can that's inside my crock pot. I then cover the top of the coffee can with several sheets of paper towel to control moisture and put the crock pot lid on top and cook according to the directions. This is the old school way of making a liner when none is available.. Hope this helps. I have apricot brandy.. that would be nice with the banana bread.. Over the years I purchased one that fit my crock pot from Regal,
