Grease the inside of the slow cooker with butter or cooking spray.

In a bowl, mix sliced bananas with brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until evenly coated.

Pour the banana mixture into the slow cooker and spread out evenly.

Cover and cook on Low for 2–3 hours, or until bananas are soft and sauce is thickened.

Stir gently before serving. Enjoy warm!

Add a splash of dark rum or banana liqueur for a boozy twist.

Stir in chopped pecans, walnuts, or raisins for texture.

Substitute butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free version.

Serve over pound cake, waffles, or with vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
