Slow Cooker Bourbon Banana Bread

How about something totally outrageous and not for the kids!

I see your on board.

Lets make Slow Cooker Bourbon Banana Bread!

You heard me right! In the slow cooker!

Now I don’t keep liquor in my home so I needed to go to the wine  store down the street and picked up one of those little bottles like you get on the airlines for a dollar.

I did not use the entire bottle so I still have a lot left for other things.

Hum maybe some French  café mocha would be good. We shall see.

Here is how to make this bread.

Ingredients

      2 2/3  cups Original Bisquick® mix

      1 1/2  cups mashed very ripe bananas

      3/4  cup granulated sugar

      1/3  cup butter, melted

      2  tablespoons bourbon

      1  teaspoon vanilla

      3  eggs

      1  teaspoon ground cinnamon

      3/4  cup semisweet chocolate chips

      3/4  cup chopped toasted pecans

      2  tablespoons butter, melted

      1  cup powdered sugar

      1  tablespoon bourbon

      1  teaspoon hot water

Directions

1.       1Grease bottom only of 3 1/2- to 4-quart round slow cooker with shortening or cooking spray. Sprinkle lightly with 2 teaspoons of the Bisquick mix. I did this but instead of putting it right in  the crock pot I put one of the liners in and it worked well and saved a lot of clean up.

2.      2In large bowl, stir bananas, granulated sugar, 1/3 cup melted butter, 2 tablespoons bourbon, the vanilla and eggs until well blended. Stir in remaining Bisquick mix, the cinnamon, chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of the pecans until well blended. Pour into slow cooker.

3.      3Cover; cook on High heat setting 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours or until toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean. Turn off slow cooker; uncover, and remove ceramic base from cooker to cooling rack. Let cool 15 minutes.

4.      4Loosen edge of bread with thin metal spatula. Remove bread from slow cooker to cooling rack. Cool 1 hour.

5.      5In small bowl, mix glaze ingredients until smooth and consistency of thick syrup. Drizzle over top of bread. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/4 cup pecans.
