Easy Slow-Cook Banana Recipe with Just 4 Ingredients

Slow Cooker Banana Foster Pudding is the kind of dessert that feels like a warm hug. Inspired by the classic New Orleans flavors, it delivers all the richness and comfort without the need for stovetop cooking or open flames. Ripe bananas slowly melt into a soft, caramel-like pudding, filling the kitchen with the scent of butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. It’s effortless, nostalgic, and perfect for slow weekends or easy family gatherings.
