Gluten Free Slow Cooker Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips

May 6, 2016 by Sarah / Maison Cupcake

Slow Cooker banana bread with chocolate chips – really easy and gluten free too. 3 hours and you get this lovely moist banana bread you can finish off with lots of drizzled chocolate!

We had a bunch of very strange bananas recently. They ripened in the blink of an eye and when you peeled them half the peel stayed stuck to them and you needed to scrape it off. The most frustrating bananas ever. We still had four left and I was on the verge of freezing them to make smoothies or my no churn dairy free Vitamix raspberry ice cream when take with a craving for banana bread. Being busy that day I wondered can you cook banana bread in a slow cooker* and decided to try it out.

I really liked this slow cooker cake because it was less reliant on me removing it from the oven at a fixed time and I’d not had to wait for the oven to warm up either. I will definitely be experimenting more with slow cooker cakes – my only gripe with them is you only have one shape. Nevertheless my Crockpot Sauté* model’s round chamber is the perfect size for a 3 egg mix of this recipe.

When baking cakes in slow cookers you should line the chamber with cake liners* to stop the cakes sticking. These 20cm ones by Tala are the perfect size for my Crockpot.

In it goes! The lumps in the batter are the banana chunks. You can’t really see the chocolate chips much but half of them were white chocolate chips as I was using up bits and pieces in the cupboard. Likewise I used a blend of light brown and white caster sugar and this is also the reason this ended up being a gluten free cake too!

Slow Cooker Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips

Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time3 hrs
Total Time3 hrs 10 mins
Course: Baking
Servings: 12
Author: Sarah Trivuncic

Ingredients

  • 180 g caster sugar
  • 180 g butter softened
  • 3 large free range eggs
  • 180 g self raising gluten free flour
  • 3 ripe medium bananas chopped into 1cm slices
  • 75 g chocolate chips I used a mix of milk and white ones
  • 75 g dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

  • Using an electric mixer beat the butter with the caster sugar.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time.
  • Gradually mix in the flour and fold until just combined.
  • Finally mix in the banana slices and chocolate chips.
  • Decant the mix into a slow cooker lined with a round baking liner.
  • Slow cook on high for 3 hours until a cake tester comes out cleanly. When cool enough, remove from the slow cooker to cool completely.
  • Melt the dark chocolate chunks in the microwave (medium power for longer is best to avoid scorching) until runny. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

    Great use of the slow cooker. We are recent converts to baking in ours.

    It is useful that yours is circular so will take standard liners – mine is oval so need to line by hand.

      If you bought liners that were bigger size it might work?

    This cake looks divine and makes me want a round slow cooker even more as I only have an oblong one which would be no good for this:-( Thanks for a fab entry to #CreditCrunchMunch:-)

      I guess you can still make oblong cake but yes the liners wouldn’t fit

    Having got a fright on the scales this morning I am avoiding anything that looks like this Sarah, so reading your recipe was pure torture 😀
    That said I’m pinning it for another, skinnier, day!

      If it makes you feel any better I had 3 slices over the weekend and had still lost 2lb at Weight Watchers by Weds 😀

    I’m a new convert to slow cooker cakes – they’re amazing! This sounds great, especially the chocolate drizzle 🙂

      The chocolate drizzle always makes it haha

    Yummy cake, the chocolate drizzle looks most tempting! ! Aren’t they lovely and moist when made in the slow cooker, and less chance of burning which is why I do it haha.

    Love the look of this! I use my slow cooker a lot but have yet to try baking in it. I wonder if you get liners that fit the oval crock pots?

    • Sarah, Maison Cupcake says

      May 9, 2016 at 10:04 am

      Probably not but a bigger size would probably do the job

    I still have not had a go at baking a cake in the slow cooker. I must have a go, this looks so good x #bakeoftheweek

    I can’t think why I’ve not thought to drizzle chocolate all over banana bread before, looks so good! Thanks for sharing with #CookBlogShare ps sorry I’m late popping over to comment 🙂

    Your banana cake looks delicious Sarah, I love your round slow cooker. I like making desserts and cakes in my oval slow cooker but a round one is so much better for cake liners.

    • Sarah, Maison Cupcake says

      May 24, 2016 at 11:14 pm

      A few people have said this. To be honest it never occurred to me not all slow cookers were round as every one I’ve had or family members have owned have been round!!
