Crock Pot Banana Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
1 1/2 cups well mashed overripe bananas (2 or 3 bananas)
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)

Preparation

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. With the electric beater on low, fluff the shortening in a small bowl, until soft and creamy. Add the sugar gradually. Beat in the eggs in a slow stream. With a fork, beat in 1/3 of the flour mixture, 1/2 the bananas, another 1/3 of the flour mixture, then the rest of the bananas, and finally the last of the flour mixture. Fold in the walnuts.
Turn into a greased and floured baking unit or a 2 1/2 quart mold and cover. Place on a rack in the slow cooker.
Cover the cooker, but prop the lid open with a toothpick or a twist of foil to let the excess steam escape.
Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Serve Warm.
