Slow cooker peanut butter banana cake is a an easy dessert inspired by Elvis Presley’s love of peanut butter banana sandwiches. It’s absolutely packed with rich flavor and moisture thanks to a pack of banana pudding mixture. Let your slow cooker make a dessert fit for The King!

What better way to honor something or someone you love than by turning that love into a delicious dessert?

They do say the way to the heart is through the stomach after all.

And for me, my love of The Kind of Rock and Roll, the one and only Elvis Presley, runs deep.

At 3 years old I declared I was going to marry him.

While that obviously did not happen, I still hold a very soft spot in my heart for him and celebrate that love whenever and however possible.

And one of the things I do best is show my love through food.

So I turned Elvis’s famed love of peanut butter banana sandwiches into a slow cooker peanut butter and banana cake.

And much like the man himself, this cake will take the world by storm!

Banana pudding keeps the cake moist while peanut butter adds the decadent rich flavor.

One bite and you won’t be able to help falling in love with it.

Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

Pudding mix– A 3.5 ounce package of instant banana pudding and pie mix
Milk– Skim
Cake mix– A box of yellow cake mix
The ingredients listed on the cake mix– Normally eggs, oil, and water
Peanut butter– Creamy. You’ll want some to mix into the cake and some for the topping as well
Peanut butter chips– Find them next to the chocolate chips in the grocery store
Chocolate chips– Semi sweet
Toppings– Chocolate sauce, banana slices, and vanilla ice cream

How to Make

Making this slow cooker peanut butter banana cake is an easy dessert option.

Just spray the bowl of a 6 quart slow cooker pot with non stick spray.

Set the prepared bowl aside.

Then whisk together the milk and pudding mix for about 2 minutes in a medium bowl until it starts to thicken but is still soft.

Pour this into the slow cooker and set it aside while you make the cake mix.

Following the directions on the back of the cake mix box to make the cake batter but also mix in half a cup of creamy peanut butter.

Pour the cake batter over the pudding

Slow cook the cake on low for 4 hours or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Turn the slow cooker off and remove the lid.

Sprinkle the peanut butter chips and chocolate chips over the top and cover back up with the lid.

Let it sit for 10 minutes to let the chips melt.

Heat a quarter cup of peanut butter in the microwave for 15 seconds to thin it out.

Scoop out portions of cake into the bowl and top each with the melted peanut butter, chocolate sauce, sliced bananas, and vanilla ice cream.

Enjoy!

Storing

Store any leftover pudding cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat individual portions in the microwave before serving again.

Tips and Tricks

Do not forget the nonstick spray on the bowl of your slow cooker! It will make clean up a million times easier.
If you have leftover cake and leftover sliced bananas, make sure you do not store the cake with the bananas. In fact, I’d probably discard leftover banana slices as they will brown and get mushy.
Want to have even more fun with this? Instead of vanilla ice cream, try a flavor with peanut butter like peanut butter ripple or even chocolate peanut butter.
