Baking In The Summer Heat

Last week when it was 100000 degrees, I had some pathetic bananas sitting there on the counter. My husband said hopefully, "Those look ready for banana bread."  You know the last thing I wanted to do was turn on the oven and bake. The A/C was barely able to keep up the way it was. Off to the internet, I knew someone out there must have a slow cooker banana bread recipe. Sure enough I found the one below. There were several posted, but this had the most promising looking image.

I changed the recipe slightly and most of my ingredients are organic.  I don't use corn syrup so I used my Agave syrup instead.  The bread turned out almost as nice as the picture and was equally delicious. I'm sorry I never got around to taking a picture of it, but believe me it was good. My husband loved it. I am sure I will make it again. Now I am thinking of what else I can bake in there???


 
Slow Cooker Banana Bread

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/3 cup butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
2 tbsp Organic Raw Blue Agave syrup, or corn syrup
3 ripe bananas, well mashed
1/2 cups chopped walnuts

Grease and flour a 4 1/2 quart Slow Cooker or Crock-pot. 

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter with an electric mixer until fluffy.  Add in the baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Slowly add sugar, eggs, syrup, mashed bananas. Beat until smooth. Gradually add flour to creamed mixture just until slightly blended.  Stir in the nuts by hand. 

Pour into crock-pot, cover and cook on high for 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool, then invert bread onto serving platter or bread board.
