SLOW-COOKER BOURBON BANANA BREAD

Slow-Cooker Bourbon Banana Bread image

This banana bread is full of surprises. First, it's spiked with the flavors of bourbon, pecans and chocolate chips (topped with a bourbon glaze and more pecans for good measure). And because it's baked in your slow cooker, there's not need to heat up the oven.
