Slow Cooker Banana Blueberry Bread Recipe

Like many other women, I try making sure that everything I cook for my family is not only healthy, but made from the best ingredients possible. For us, eating as close to the source as we can is important, and I try getting things from local farmers, or try making ingredients myself where I can. As someone who is constantly baking and cooking dishes at home, I go through about a bag of flour (sometimes more) a month, and since I only use high quality, natural flour, this can get expensive fast. When I found out I was selected for the Wondermill Grain Mill Challenge, I was ecstatic since I was finally going to have the opportunity to control even more of my ingredients and save money in the process!

Since we had some overripe bananas and blueberries in the house, I thought I would put our new mill to the test by making one of my family’s favorite recipes – banana blueberry bread. Knowing that I had a busy day ahead of me, I ground some flour, made my batter, and decided to try something new –  baking it in my slow cooker! Not only was it delicious, but the slow cooker kept it the bread from drying out, retaining even more of the flavor and leaving a moist bread that tasted absolutely heavenly!
