Slow Cooker Banana Pudding with Caramel
Taking less than 10 minutes to prep, this pudding is essentially a banana bread made in the slow cooker, but with a gorgeous layer of caramel running through it.
Equipment
- Medium mixing bowl + small bowl
- Hand whisk
- Fork, spoon + knife
Ingredients
- 225 g self raising flour
- 65 g light brown brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch salt
- 1 large egg
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 80 ml milk
- 2 ripe (but not overly) bananas mashed
- 397 g tin of Carnation Caramel Dessert Filling or Nestle Dulche de Leche
Instructions
- Add all dry ingredients to your slow cooker pot, stir well with a hand whisk, and break up any sugar lumps. If your slow cooker pot isn’t non-stick, grease it very well first.
- In a separate mixing bowl, add the egg and lightly beat. Add the butter to a small bowl and melt in the microwave for 30 seconds then stir. Microwave for a little longer if needed. Then add the melted butter to the milk and egg bowl. Add in the mashed banana. Pour it all into the slow cooker pot and immediately stir very well. Level out the batter as best you can.
- Add shallow spoonfuls of the caramel all over the top of the batter. A knife will help you to get it off the spoon. Watch the video above for help. Then gently use the back of the spoon to level out the caramel a little and to cover any big gaps, DO NOT mix in. This will form a gorgeous caramel sauce which will mostly drop down into the middle of your banana bread.
- Slow cook on high for 2 - 2 ½ hours or until the batter doesn’t look wet or jiggle in the middle. Once done, it will keep warm with the lid on for at least 1 hour. You can put a tea towel under the lid to absorb the moisture on the lid. Dish up spoonfuls, serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
