This Slow Cooker Banana Foster Pudding is a warm, comforting twist on the classic New Orleans dessert, made easy without flour, eggs, or stovetop cooking. Ripe bananas slowly melt into a rich, caramel-like sauce as they cook with butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. The result is a soft, jammy pudding with deep, buttery sweetness and a hint of spice — tasting like a traditional flambéed banana dessert without any fire or fuss. It’s the kind of treat that fills your kitchen with an irresistible aroma and turns simple ingredients into something truly indulgent.
To make it, simply grease your slow cooker and layer sliced ripe bananas at the bottom. In a bowl, whisk melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon into a smooth caramel mixture, then pour it over the bananas without stirring. Let everything cook slowly until the fruit becomes tender and the sauce darkens into a glossy amber syrup. Before serving, gently mix the bananas into the caramel so every spoonful is coated in sweetness. Serve it warm straight from the slow cooker on its own or with a scoop of ice cream for an effortless dessert that feels special with minimal effort.
