Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup whole wheat flour
- 3/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 cup mashed, very ripe banana (2–3 medium)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Preparation
Step 1
1. In a mixing bowl, combine flours, baking soda, and salt.
2. In another mixing bowl, stir together banana, peanut butter, sugar, buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. When well-mixed, stir in chocolate chips.
3. Add wet ingredients to dry (or the other way around) and be very careful to stir briefly until just mixed. A few streaks of flour may remain.
4. Pour batter in greased loaf pan, 9 × 5 or 8 × 4, whatever size fits in your cooker. Or use small, individual bakers
.
5. Place loaf pan or bakers on metal jar rings or small trivet in cooker. Prop slow cooker lid open at one end with a wooden spoon handle or chopstick.
6. Cook on High for 3½–4½ hours, until tester inserted in middle comes out clean.
7. Carefully, wearing oven gloves, remove the hot loaf pan or bakers from the hot cooker. Allow to stand for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the bread and turn the loaf out onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Slices best when cool, if you can wait that long!
