    Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or a non-stick cooking spray.

  3. Transfer to the slow cooker
    Pour the banana mixture into the prepared slow cooker and spread it into an even layer.

  4. Cook the pudding
    Cover with the lid and cook on low heat for 2–3 hours, or until the bananas are very soft and the sauce has thickened.

  5. Serve
    Give the pudding a gentle stir to combine, then spoon into bowls and serve warm.

Variations & Tips

  • Add a boozy twist
    For deeper flavor, mix in a splash of dark rum or banana liqueur before cooking.

  • Boost the texture
    Prefer a bit of crunch? Stir in a handful of chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) or a small handful of raisins.

  • Make it dairy-free
    Replace the butter with coconut oil to create a dairy-free version with a light coconut aroma.

  • Serve it with extras
    For an indulgent dessert, spoon the warm banana pudding over slices of pound cake, waffles, or even pancakes.
