Banana Bread out of a crockpot?

Well that's what I said. Maybe you heard of this before, but not I. I was in the grocery market while in check out behind a very long line I spotted a (food) magazine (which is my eye candy) picked it up and flipped through. Not having much faith in the book (it's a diet one) thought it would amuse me while in line. As I flip I come across Banana bread made in a crock pot. I never heard of that before so of course I have to try this. Well after reading the ingredients and putting it together (all the while being skeptical that it's going to be good) I made it yesterday. The verdict? Seriously it was great, I was shocked great. Now I do have to say that my old fashion version is my favorite, but this took a pretty darn good 2nd place. It is moist, super fluffy, not crazy sweet...really um how to explain..yummy ;0) So here you go....

Crock pot Banana Bread (they say diet but hmm I don't know)

Grease the inside of the crock pot with margarine (I can't believe it's not butter) then flour  the pot

Ingredients:

1/3 cup of margarine
2/3 cups of sugar or sugar substitute
2 eggs well beaten
2 tbsp of light corn syrup
3 medium ripe mashed bananas
1 3/4 flour (all purpose)
2 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
optional 1/3 cup of chopped walnuts

Cream margarine in large bowl with electric mixer until fluffy. Slowly add sugar, eggs, corn syrup, and bananas. Beat until smooth.

Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in small bowl.

Slowly beat flour mix into creamed mix. Add walnuts if using here. Pour into crock pot. Cover, and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours depending how yours cooks, mine was good after 2 hours.. turn off the carefully unstick sides with a butter knife and turn on to serving plate......(now I did have some burned side on the bottom not much but some which I just carefully removed/ scraped with a knife and all was fine after that)
Voila...crock pot banana bread

(haha..notice my finger prints from checking to see if it's done)
