    Slow Cooker Banana Bread

    Easy Banana Bread Recipe

    Who doesn’t love a soft banana bread? The particularity of this recipe: using a slow cooker instead of the oven! This slow cooking method allows the bread to become tender.

    Since it already contains 4 bananas, no need to eat an additional fruit in the morning. Simply add a touch of Greek yogurt or honey cottage cheese and your breakfast is ready! Ever tried to garnish your vanilla or plain Greek yogurt with banana bread cubes? It’s super tasty!

    Can I cook my banana bread in a loaf pan placed in the slow cooker?

    Yes! You can pour the preparation into a loaf pan placed inside your slow cooker (just like in the picture). It will cook the same way, but unmolding will be easier. Plus, the Grenoble walnuts will caramelize thanks to the heat released by the slow cooker.

  • Lipids
    24.4 g
    38 % DV
    Lipids (fats) are essential to your body. They are an important source of energy. However, an excessive consumption is associated with weight gain and higher risks of chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular problems. Unsaturated fats are preferable to saturated or trans fats.
  • Saturated fats
    11.3 g
    57 % DV
    Saturated fats, commonly known as “bad fats”, are mostly found in processed foods and in some products of animal origin. If consumed in excess, they can have adverse effects on cardiovascular health, including increases in LDL-cholesterol levels. Try to eat better lipids such as those found in fish, nuts, oilseeds, and oils!
  • Cholesterol

As for insoluble fibers, they increase stool bulk and regulate bowel function. Since they slow down the digestion process, they promote satiety, which contributes to appetite and weight control. You should consume at least 30 g everyday.
