Accidental Banana Nut Bread

This looks great! Like seeing you with your kids. I like you girls!

Sounds and look delicious….amazingly easy for the children to participate

Vanilla will work to, Brittney. Won’t taste the same, but will still be yummy!

what size cake mix.box

what could I substitute for the banana cream pudding if I don’t have any, only have vanilla pudding

I will be trying both of these this weekend! My boys, 24, 12 and twin 8 year olds, love banana bread so this will be an instant hit for sure! The twins always love to help in the kitchen and they can do this one easy peasy.

Kelly, it is just a simple powdered sugar and butter glaze. You can make as thin or thick as you want.

Can’t wait to try both recipes. I was wondering what ingredients went into the stove top icing. It looks really good and would like to try that instead of a thick icing. Thanks!

Can’t wait to try the pizza and Accidental Banana Nut Bread. We are in the middle of a Blizzard so I will keep my 3 year old son occupied by crockin’ with me. :)

looks delish! will be doing this soon!

Let us know how your substitutions work out, Sheila!

cant wait to try this i fix a lot of dessert sugar free so i look for desserts that i can change and this one i will change to see how it taste.

Depending on how you want to serve it there are a couple of ways, Carly:
If you sprayed the insert really well first, you can run a knife along the inside edge to get it loose and then dump it onto a plate upside down. OR…you can just cut it up in the insert and lift out individual pieces with a spatula. OR you can spray the inside of a slow cooker liner really well and make it in that. Then when it’s done you can just lift the whole thing out with the liner bag, cut away the bag and vuala! You’ve got your banana nut bread out in 1 piece. We got this great tip from a dear friend, Tiffany.

How do you get the banana bread out of the crock?

Tried the Accidental Banana cake – I think this will be a hit with the kids :-) Thank you, Crockin’ Girls for making my life easier so I can spend more time with the family! Love your website!

It sure was good to get back on your site. I am going to try both the pizza and the accidental banana nut bread (or cake), they look so good. I really liked you having the kids help, they looked like they were having fun and I bet they ate a lot of it also. Good family activity, (now get your husbands in there every now and then:)

Can’t wait to try the pizza and the ‘accidental’ cake!

My family loves Pizza. I can’t wait to try it with some of our favorite toppings. Thanks so much for this easy recipe!

Can’t wait to try out these recipes!

These recipes look so yummy. Love your videos. Look forward to them every Monday. Great job letting the kids help.

If you can do this with all those kids maybe i will try it with my 21 year old son….Ha….Love your recipes guys!

Both of these recipes look great. Can’t wait to try!

I love watching the kiddos. Just wondering what size of crock you use, it looks bigger than any of mine.

I cook with my grandchildren every chance I get and this will be great can’t wait to see them again.

The fact that you did all that with two 2year olds is amazing!

These look yummy! Can’t wait to try. My family always loves to see what the “new” recipe will be this week! Thanks for all the great crockin’ recipes! Love you girls!

Pizza sounds great – I think we are going to try it!

I’ve done a banana nut bread in my crockpot but yours sounds like it’s moister than mine. I will have to try this.

Renee, We do use bags often but not all the time. Since we use are nonstick GE for our desserts, the bag is not needed. When we created this recipe, we really intended to be a mixed fruit bread but when we were done, it tasted so much like banana nut bread to us. That is why we named it Accidental Banana Nut Bread…lol.

Both recipes sound yummy – can’t wait to try them!!

I can’t wait to try the pizza in the crock pot!! My family LOVES pizza!!!

Gotta try these out this week, cake sounds amazing! Yum

Both look sooo good! I have yet to try a dessert in my slow cooker! My husband loves banana bread, so this may be the one!

They are sooooo yummy, y’all! Glad you’re crockin’ with us!

Love the kids!! the cake sounds good. I don’t use cake mix so I’ll try it with one of my cake recipes.

Can’t wait to try both of these. Love all your recipes! Thanks for making life easier and tastier!

Can’t wait to try both of these recipes, especially the banana nut bread. I want to use the sugar free yellow cake mix and make it even more healthy! Great idea ladies – keep ‘em coming!

Can’t wait to try both of those!

What a great idea for pizza I have a daycare and am definately making crockpot pizza for lunch next week! My oldest son (10yrs old) was watching the video with me and he said “crockpot pizza that is wierd I like my pizza to come out of the oven” :-D I’ll have to trick him someday!

Can’t wait to try this and see if my family likes it! What a great idea!

I cannot wait to try the pizza; the possibilties are endless! A great weekend meal to try when my Grandbabies are there!!

I can’t wait to try the pizza! I have three children (7, 9, 11) that love to crock with me. They got me a triple crock pot last year and I am anxious to let them each make their own pizza in their on crock! Thanks!

I can’t wait to try this, love love love banana nut bread.

So excited about the pizza……the options are endless.
Love that you involve your kids :-)

Ummm, I can’t wait to have some leftover Spicy Buffalo Chicken to make a pizza out of!!! You guys have given me such inspiration to cook/crock! It make feel like such a better person when I already have dinner made, so I can multitask to get other things done! I just started my teaching career and this allows me to still be a great wife too!!! Thank you so much! Love the videos every week and love seeing the kidos!

I can’t wait to try the banana bread – It looks awesome! And my four toddlers love to cook with mommy so these are perfect! :-)

What a great idea. Can’t wait to try the pizza and the banana nut bread. Thanks.

I look forward to trying the Accidental Banana Nut Bread recipe–it looks great and easy. I like that you can add different types of fruit. I think I will try some coconut with it too. Thanks.

I will definitely have to try this very soon. My daughter loves bananas but, sometimes she doesn’t eat them all before they go bad. So, great use for banana instead of making banana pudding all the time, lol.

Can’t wait to try pizza in the crock. It great to have a short cooking time for days your home and forget to get something going in the crock. This year I’m trying very hard to stay out of fast food places as a quick fix. Thanks

Never thought to make pizza in a crock pot. Looking forward to trying it! Cute kids. Looks like they keep you hopping!

Your kiddos are so cute! I am trying the pizza recipe tonight, it sure does look good! Made me hungry!

I can’t wait to try these! My guys love pizza and I love banana bread! Win Win Having another crock pot would be icing on the cake! Hope I win! You gals rock!

Both recipes look really yummy! I have never tried making dessert in the crock will definitely have to try.
I love the videos I start my week by watching before I have to get ready for work.

Looks good!!

It all looks soo yummy !!! Thank you for sharing and for the chance to win a crack pot!!! :)

Hi, first off I really appreciate You two and of course I would Love to win a crock pot, but the two comments/questions I have are one why when You present on your video’s You don’t use the crockpot bags? I see that You spray the crockpot each time before You start but I don’t see the bags being used. Second if it’s called banana bread will it taste like that since the video showed a variety fruit bag that You used, was not sure You would have the true flavor of just the banana nut bread. Thank You so much to You and your Families for who You are. Renee Cook

Never tried to make dessert in a slow cooker before, but I am going to have to try this recipe. It looks good.

Can’t wait to try both the pizza and the accidental banana nut bread. Never made any dessert in the slow cooker before. Definetly have to try that out. Thanks for all the recipes!

This looks really great. I’ve never tried to make a cake in a slow cooker…but I think I’ll have to to try this one tomorrow. I really look forward to the videos every week. You do a great job. thank you

OMG The banana bread/cake was sooo delish. Will be making it again for sure.

Looks good! Who knew you could do pizza in a slow cooker….. going to have to try this one. Thanks for all the great inspirations. My husband thanks you as well!

We like to use our GE 6qt, nonstick slow cooker for breads and desserts :)

This cake looks delicious! What kind of slow cooker do you have? It looks like a really nice one!

absoltely wonderful and couldn’t be easier!

Was skeptical at first but was a HUGE hit!! My teenagers would come home from school asking if we had any left. Needless to say, it didn’t last long.

Can’t wait till I get my check so I can make this cake :)

These look yummy. Going to make them soon!

These look yummy! Going to get my grandkids to help!

Made this for desert today for a family get together. My 9yr old did most of the work. It ws a HUGE hit! Everyone loved it.

Im going to make this next week with bananas and a can of pumpkin instead and pumpkin spice!! Thank you!!!

Looks so Yummy

These recipes look delicious, and I can’t wait to try them. I also love watching the videos.
The children are adorable!!!!

And Rachel, if you have another slow cooker that doesn’t cook as hot, you might want to try that. Just like any other appliance, not all crocks cook the same. Some cook WAY hot.

Next time, no fruit. We preferred just the cake parts. Nice to know I can cook a cake in the crock. The sides were really hard. I may try it on low next time.

Go for it, Rachel!

I bought the frozen fruit but I see now I have bananas that need to be used up. I may use those instead.

I used 6 raw bananas and 1/2 cup of coconut in my cake. It turned out very tasty, and sprinkled powdered sugar on top…also added 1/4 t coconut flavoring…..thank you for an alternative to turning on the oven when it’s so hot outside.!

made this last-night !!! was great guys really loved it.

You can use fresh fruit. We have had lots of people from the Crockin’ Community try it and it came out great!!

Wondering if fresh fruit can be used instead of frozen? Would it make a difference?

Way to go moms!! So glad y’all liked it, Lisa. This is a yummy one for sure. And you’re making some great memories crockin’ with your kiddos, Shannon :) Happy Crockin’, Y’all!

This was to die for! I bought instant pudding because I wasn’t sure which kind & it came out perfect! I used a bag of mixed strawberries, blueberries, blackberries & raspberries (Walmart) and my kids are calling it SMOOTHIE CAKE! I think it only took about 2 hrs in my crock so watch it carefully!

I can’t wait to try the accidental banana nut bread. I stay at home with my two little ones and love using your recipes. My 4 year old loves to help too!
