    Notes

    This crockpot version yields a dense, moist banana bread with that signature Starbucks-like texture. For nut toasting, lightly toast the nuts in a dry pan before adding. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for up to 3 months. Reheat slices in the microwave for 30 seconds.
