Crockpot Banana Bread

OK, I was thinking today as I was cleaning up from the holidays, getting rid of the tree, and the decorations, and finally giving the place the cleaning it didn't get when I took all the decorations out in a rush, that generally if you give more, you get more. Not necessarily material things, but that if you put more effort in, you reap greater reward or satisfaction. That said, isn't everyone always looking for the quick fix? Myself included. So, when this arrived in my email inbox this week I was intrigued. I love anything you can put in a crockpot and forget about and come back later to just enjoy. I do stews, sauces, chilis, soups, chowders, ribs, pulled pork or chicken or beef. I've even done meatloaf and baked potatoes with moderate success. However, I'm not sure if I believe that you can get sweet treats from a crockpot. Here it is: Crockpot banana bread. Let's give it a try and weigh in on the results.

  2. I've seen molten choc cakes, but haven't tried them. That seems a better fit b/c it is supposed to be a little wet. I don't know that I'd like bread done in it, but let me know if you try it.

  3. Manny has baked in his dutch oven the outdoor way, with charcoals on the top. The baked goods do cook, but they don't brown and they are a little "moist". It worked, but wouldn't be my first choice. I imagine the crock pot would have similiar results. I have a cookbook with a whole section on desserts. The only thing I was willing to try was baked apples, they were yummy:) If anyone wants some other dessert crock pot recipes let me know.
