My Favorite Crockpot Recipe

If you have an old crockpot gathering dust in the back of the cupboard, it is time to dust it off and get excited about slow cooking again. I think that you have possibly used your crockpots only once or twice to make recipes like soup or casserole yet are you aware that these crockpots can be used to make desserts too?

You can make all kinds of desserts in there, in fact, including rice pudding, sugar cookies, bread pudding, and cobbler recipes and even dump cake.

Cake Recipes from Scratch

You might want to make a crockpot dessert and a sauce on the stove to go with it. While the crockpot is still making your dessert, you will still have enough time to make a delicious homemade sauce or perhaps go to a nearby market and buy some ice cream or whipped cream.

Why don't you try making a crockpot an easy banana bread recipe? This is just so easy. You simply have to chop some fruits and then add them into the crockpot. Sprinkle over some oats, sugar, flour, melted butter and spices and cook until the fruit is hot and bubbly. This is wonderful with ice cream.

Recipes like these are ideal if you have a busy day lined up, because they mean dessert is one less thing to think about. You only have to prepare them in the morning then it will take care of itself for the rest of the time hence, you have more time to spend on other stuff.
