My kid’s love to help cook in the kitchen, so I thought this would be a great recipe for them to make! Also, because I was looking down at brown bananas and naturally banana bread popped in my head.  My 7 year old, Ashlyn, immediately hopped on board when I asked her if she wanted to do a Kids in the Kitchen cooking segment: Crock Pot Banana Bread

 

Crock Pot Banana Bread 

It turned out so moist and evenly cooked, plus it was a heavenly smell throughout the house! My crock pot cooks hotter, so I shut it off a little earlier than the recipe called for.  It was Ashlyn’s idea to add in peanut butter chips, which was brilliant.  Peanut butter & banana goes together like cookies & creme! Of course, you can add in things like chocolate chips, pecans, walnuts or whatever you feel like.

When it was done, we couldn’t wait to dive in.  It was delicious, moist, and barely made it in the house til the next day! Ashlyn did a wonderful job for her very first “Kids in the Kitchen” cooking segment, so be on the look out for more of her recipes!!!
