To get started, you need to mash the five bananas and mix the ingredients together.

‘Pour them into a lined cake tin, add three centimetres of water to the bottom of your slow cooker and place the cake tin inside the slow cooker,’ the woman who made the cake said.

Then, leave your slow cooker on high for two hours with a tea towel under the lid, and by the time you return, you should have delicious warm banana bread ready to eat.
