5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Banana Foster Pudding

Ingredients

Fruit

• 4 medium ripe bananas, sliced

Caramel Base

• ½ cup brown sugar, packed
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Prepare the  slow cooker
Lightly grease the insert with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.

2. Add the bananas
Arrange the sliced bananas in an even layer at the bottom. Ripe, spotty bananas work best for a sweeter, creamier result.

3. Mix the sauce
In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.

4. Pour over bananas
Pour the mixture evenly on top. Do not stir—this helps form a rich syrup as it cooks.

5. Cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours or HIGH for 2–2½ hours, until the bananas are very soft and the sauce is bubbling and caramelized.

6. Finish and serve
Gently stir to combine, then serve warm while the sauce is smooth and glossy.
