Preparation and Mashing the Bananas
- Set your slow cooker to low and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy lifting. Mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the slightly cooled melted butter and brown sugar together until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Gently stir in the mashed bananas and Greek yogurt until barely combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix only until just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Fold in optional add-ins if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with minimal moist crumbs.
- Allow the loaf to cool in the slow cooker for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
This slow cooker adaptation bakes a moist loaf without drying out. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for up to 3 months. For best results, use very ripe bananas.
