You Made Banana Bread in a What?

Okay... I have a somewhat odd way of making banana bread. Only it's not odd to me, because this is how my mom made it growing up. In fact, I didn't make banana bread the traditional way until I moved out and was living on my own.

I make banana bread in my crockpot. I have this little insert that you can bake in. I only have the one recipe for the banana bread... though I believe somewhere my mom has an entire cookbook dedicated to the cake-baker-insert-thingy. It makes the best, most moist banana bread ever.

I have searched the internet for this insert, and outside of e-bay, I can't find it. But I'm telling you, if you ever find one, snatch it up. Here's the recipe for banana bread. You will thank me!

Crock-pot Banana Bread

1/2 cup butter or margerine
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
4 small, very ripe bananas (mashed)
3 tablespoons water or milk
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Cream butter and sugar till fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add water and bananas. Thoroughly mix in flour, soda and nuts (if desired). Pour into greased Bread-and-Cake Bake and cover. Bake in covered crock pot on high for 2-3 hours until knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Can also mix in 1/2 cup chocolate chips before baking for Chocolate Chip Banana Bread.

Voila! Banana bread in your crock pot!
